This piece is highlighting a feature available on Nationwide’s illustration software. 

Nationwide’s EDBG VUL to GUL: Due to low interest rates and increased reserve requirements with AG38, no-lapse guarantee (NLG) VUL has become competitively priced compared to GUL. BGAs and advisors are starting to discuss NLG VUL as a potential alternative to GUL when it is suitable. Built into Nationwide’s Protection VUL illustration software is an option to compare their Protection VUL w/ the Extended Death Benefit Guarantee rider (EDBG) to their No-Lapse Guaranteed UL product*. This doesn’t provide you with a printable report, but it does give you a snapshot comparison of the comparable data (see screen shot below). In this particular example, a comparison using the same premium was used:

The most significant observation here is that you have comparable guarantees (Age 100 vs. 120), but with the variable contract, you have the potential benefit of cash value accumulation you can’t get with a traditional, guaranteed UL. Not to mention a higher target premium amount. So for the same premium, this particular client could opt for the VUL contract instead of the GUL, and still maintain a death benefit guarantee.
