  • Publication number: 20240046369
    Abstract: A system and method for administering an insurance policy in general accounts and in separate accounts including a modified stable value protected investment including an improved surrender payment protocol. The system and method includes tracking the value of investments and an MSVP value in a life insurance contract after a termination of life insurance coverage has occurred. When the system determines that the value of the MSVP equals a predetermined value (e.g., zero) or that a maturity date for the policy or stable value protected investment has occurred, the system causes an amount equal to the value of the MSVP division to be paid to the contractholder. Upon such payment, the MSVP product provider shall have no further liability under the MSVP. The contractholder may have an option to elect at any time to receive a payment amount equal to the value of the underlying assets of the stable value protected investment. In such event, the MSVP product provider shall have no further liability under the MSVP.

  • Publication number: 20140136244
    Abstract: Method and system to track, reconcile and administer the values of life insurance policies in separate accounts, including Stable Value Protected funds. Accordingly, targeted returns are translated into unit values on a daily basis for each fund. Additionally the system tracks restrictions (e.g., timing, amount of withdrawal and amount of reallocations) on a premium-by-premium basis, and tracks the book value, market value, duration and targeted return on a client-by-client basis. The system calculates and tracks the payments and credits applicable to a withdrawal or reallocation request, in addition to the liquidation schedules for each fund based on the payment amounts and credits of specific funds. Additionally, daily unit values are calculated given a periodic targeted return (i.e., a quarterly targeted return).
