They say... Not true! T30 guarantees future coverage
There are no guarantees in life Not true! T30 guarantees future coverage They say there are no guarantees in life but unlike T10 and T20 where renewals only go to age 80, Transamerica’s T30 offers guaranteed coverage for life. [click]

T30…guarantees future coverage
Don’t let life get in the way of a child’s future insurability due to: Highway traffic violations… Smoking… Sky-diving or risky sports… Alcohol consumption… Car racing… Mountain climbing… On screen we see some of the topics discussed in an insurance questionnaire. Even with great health, the guaranteed coverage offered to a T30 policyholder, saves the insured child from having to answer insurance health and lifestyle questions in 30 years, at age 30 or 31 or 32… Using the conversion feature, T30 can give a child access to competitive market rates without completing an insurance questionnaire. What’s more, since the child is issued as a non-smoker, they can convert as a non-smoker. And, Transamerica is the only major insurer offering T30 to children at non-smoker rates. [click] Additional presenter notes Other insurers (at April 28, 2014): Insurer Minimum Issue Age T10T20T30 Differentiated Rates (ie. SM/NS) from age BMO 18 YYY 18 Canada 15 YYN 18 Desjardins 18 YYY 18 Empire 18 YYN 18 Equitable 18 YYN* 18 IA 0 YYY 15 Manulife 18 YYN 18 RBC 18 YYN 18 Sun 18 YYN 18 *Equitable introduced a T30/65 on March 26, Premiums are paid to the later of age 65 or year 30.

T30…guarantees future coverage
Good to know… An insured child with T30 coverage can benefit from the following when it is time to convert: Will not have to answer insurance questions over the next 30 years Will have access to then-current market rates Can convert as a non-smoker – ONLY with ivari! To recap the benefits of purchasing a T30 coverage on a child’s life, this means that at any time in the next 30 years, the insured child can access a permanent life product at market rates without underwriting. Additionally, since Transamerica insures children at non-smoker rates, the child can convert at non-smoker rates at any time in the next 30 years. [click]

T30 SelectLife option In the first 20 years, a male, non-smoker age 30 would have paid $59.40 monthly for $500,000 of coverage 1 Present valued at 3% to time 0, that’s $10,776 in premiums 2 The SelectLife option, selected in year 20, will provide $30,000 in coverage, with no additional premiums, for life 3
10
How would your client like paid-up coverage?
T30 can be viewed as a partial return of premium on death 1 Take advantage of the SelectLife reduced sum insured option at any time between years 16 and 20 2 An alternative to the Select30 is the SelectLife option. Like Select30, SelectLife reduced sum insured amounts increase from years 16 through to 20 and cannot be selected after year 20. One way some advisors and clients think of this Select Option is as a partial return of premium. Select Options increase from years 16 to 20, with the highest value being offered in year 20. If a client takes the SelectLife option in years 16 to 20, their sum insured will decrease. However, the premiums will actually increase as the client’s coverage is being extended past year 30 but there is no cost to the client. Let’s look at the value of the SelectLife option. [click] After the Option is exercised, the client pays no premiums for the rest of their life 3

T30 offers combined banding
The ivari difference Only available from ivari and one other carrier 1 Saves the client at least the policy fee on each rider 2 From SelectOptions, we will now move to combined banding. This may be a familiar story for many, but it’s important to appreciate how unique it is. The only major competitor offering combined banding is RBC. Clients won’t just save the policy fee, they may also save on their cost of insurance. [click] Additional presenter notes Manulife, Sun, Empire, Equitable, BMO, Desjardins, IA, Canada do not offer combined banding. Can save them more down the road 3

T30 layering…offers combined banding
COI Rates Face Bands Term Band From To 1 50,000 99,999 2 100,000 249,999 3 250,000 499,999 4 500,000 999,999 5 1,000,000 2,499,999 6 2,500,000 + The slide shows us the cost of insurance bands for TermSelect. Combined banding applies to combinations of term, UL or term-and-UL coverages for single life coverages on the same life. At a minimum the client saves the policy fee on each rider. For a monthly-paid layered term policy, that’s a saving of $4.50 a month for each rider. Let’s consider two examples of combined banding with T10, T20 and T30 coverages. In the first example, only the T10 and T20 coverages will benefit by having their bands changed. In the second example, all coverages will have COI reductions as their bands will move up. [click]

T30 layering…offers combined banding
Standalone Combined Banding (Layered) Monthly Saving from Layering Band 4 Band 3 Band 2 $500K $250K $200K T30 T20 T10 T30 Base T20 Rider T10 Rider MNS 30 59.40 22.05 17.82 16.65 8.46 14.76 MNS 35 75.15 25.20 18.18 17.78 17.14 MNS 40 112.95 33.75 21.78 26.10 11.70 17.73 The table shows monthly premiums for a life purchasing T10 [click], T20 [click] and T30 [click] single-life coverages. Three examples are shown for ages 30, 35 and 40 [click] assuming a male, non-smoker. There is only one life per policy. For the standalone, the cost of insurance band for each coverage is based on the face amount for that policy. This means that the T10 coverage [click] is being charged at a band 2 COI rate, the T20 coverage [click] is being charged at band 3 COI rate and the T30 coverage [click] is being charged at a band 4 COI rate. [click] For the layered policy with combined banding, the cost of insurance band for each coverage is based on the face amount for the whole policy. The total face amount for the layered policy in the example is $950,000. This is a band 4 face amount, so this means that the T10 and T20 coverages are treated as band 4. [click] We see that there are savings for the T10 [click] and T20 [click] layered coverages. [click] Part of the savings comes from the policy fee and part is due to combined banding. Each rider coverage saves $4.50 a month by not having a policy fee so for our policy with 2 riders, $9 in savings is due to the policy fee. For older clients who are paying higher COI rates, the savings will be greater. Notice also that the savings from combined banding almost cover the cost of the T10 standalone. [click] [click] Additional presenter notes The MNS 30 saves $14.76: $9 from the policy fee and $5.76 from combined banding. The MNS 35 saves $17.14: $9 from the policy fee and $8.14 from combined banding. The MNS 40 saves $17.73: $9 from the policy fee and $8.73 from combined banding. The MNS 30 saves $ annually. The MNS 35 saves $ annually. The MNS 40 saves $ annually. In the layered scenario, the policy fee is applied to the T30 base coverage.

T30 layering…offers combined banding
Standalone Combined Banding (Layered) Monthly Saving from Layering Band 4 Band 3 Band 2 Band 5 $550K $250K $200K T30 T20 T10 T30 Base T20 Rider T10 Rider MNS 30 64.89 22.05 17.82 63.41 15.98 8.28 17.09 MNS 35 82.22 25.20 18.18 80.73 17.55 8.10 19.22 MNS 40 123.80 33.75 21.78 122.31 25.65 10.98 20.39 We will consider one more example where even the T30’s band is increased. The T10 [click] and T20 [click] face amounts in this example remain the same as for the previous example. The T30 [click] face amount is $50,000 higher, at $550,000. [click] That brings the total policy face for this example to $1million and this brings the layered policy up to band 5. [click] As expected, we see savings for all three layered coverages. [click] Again, $9 of the “monthly savings from layering” is due to the policy fee savings on the T10 and T20 riders. Based on the amount saved, we might say that the MNS 35 and 40 are getting their T10 coverage for free, compared with buying 3 standalone policies. [click] Additional presenter notes The MNS 30 saves $17.09: $9 from the policy fee and $8.09 from combined banding. The MNS 35 saves $19.22: $9 from the policy fee and $10.22 from combined banding. The MNS 40 saves $20.39: $9 from the policy fee and $11.39 from combined banding. The MNS 30 saves $ annually. The MNS 35 saves $ annually. The MNS 40 saves $ annually. In the layered scenario, the policy fee is applied to the T30 base coverage.

Tricks of the trade Creating an effective LinkedIn Profile Start with a professional photo – think relaxed but still professional and remember to smile! Fill out the “summary” field with 5–6 of your biggest achievements Add images or documents to your experience – this is a great way to create a visual portfolio Fill out as much of your profile as possible Keep your work history relevant and current Ask for recommendations and endorsements Use status updates to share industry-relevant content
27
Always remember to…. Keep your profiles updated
Keep your content relevant and consistent Engage your followers by sharing items of interest in your own life Make sure you’re familiar with legal and compliance requirements.
