ADVISOR INSIGHT
“Death benefit provisions are a great way to protect your funds for your beneficiaries in the event of your passing.

These riders are often used when the health of the owner is unsure or to grow the assets for their heirs. These work as a nice alternative for someone that is uninsurable and wants to maximize protected growth for their beneficiaries.”
