Description
Term Life insurance is a popular product in the U.S. As a growing number of policyholders have been reaching the end of the level term period, the SOA has been committed to studying policyholder behavior in the post-level term (PLT). Shock lapse, post-level term lapse and mortality have previously been analyzed in SOA PLT studies conducted in 2010 and 2014. This study provides an update of experience and some valuable new insights.
We have provided the main report summarizing the results below. In addition, there are links to online Tableau dashboards that allow users to do some of their own data analyses. There are separate dashboards for the post-level term lapse and mortality analyses.
Within the next 2 months we will also be publishing a more detailed report regarding the predictive analytic approaches that were used, and we will also provide additional Tableau dashboards related to the predictive analytics research.
