Initial Interest Rate


This is the rate of interest guaranteed by an insurance company that will be earned on the policy account value starting when the policy is issued. On interest sensitive whole life, or universal life insurance policies, the initial interest rate is usually only guaranteed for a period of one year or until the first policy anniversary. On Single Premium Deferred Annuities, guarantee periods may be for as long as ten years. Visit our annuity site to learn more about deferred annuities. See also Account Value.
