The Drawback of Whole Life:
Inflexibility
• Premium level must be chosen at issue
– Reducing post-issue can be very costly
• Premiums reduced only through blending
– Permanently compromises guarantees

Disclosures
Insurance policies and/or associated riders and features may not be available in all states. Some
riders may have additional fees and expenses associated with them.
Guaranteed product features are dependent upon minimum premium requirements and the
claims-paying ability of the issuer.
Premier Life policies automatically include a no-lapse guarantee called the Death Benefit
Protection feature. This feature guarantees that the policy will not default, even if the cash
surrender value falls to zero or below, provided that the Death Benefit Protection Value remains
greater than zero and policy debt never exceeds the Policy Value. Once terminated, the Death
Benefit Protection feature cannot be reinstated. See the product technical guide for additional
details.
The Long-Term Care (LTC) rider is an accelerated death benefit rider and may not be available
in some states. Maximum face amount is $5 million with the LTC rider. The LTC rider is not
considered long-term care insurance in some states. When the death benefit is accelerated for
long-term care expenses, the death benefit is reduced dollar for dollar, and the cash value is
reduced proportionally. The policy account value is also reduced proportionally. There are
additional costs associated with this rider. Please go to www.jhsalesnet.com for a complete list
of up-to-date state approvals.
