Fort Myers, FL. –Financial Advisor Robert Grace informs life insurance policyholders that they may be paying as much as 70% too much for their life insurance.

The life insurance industry has a standardized pricing system called the Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Rates (CSO) table.  The pricing is based upon a study of mortality experience.  The most recent study was conducted in 2001 and rates were recalculated at that time.  Prior to that study, the last study and price structure recalculation was in 1980.

“The 2001 table reflected a 30 percent reduction in policyholder costs from those established 20 years earlier,” said Robert Grace, President of Grace Advisory Group.

Grace advises that, while the first study was done in 1980, the 1980 CSO rates were not implemented until 1988. Policyholders who bought insurance during that eight-year time period may actually be paying an even higher rate.   Said Grace, “As a result, the reduction in rates could be even greater depending on when your policy was put in force.”

“Bottom line, there are a lot of policies that are priced better in today’s market,” said Grace. “The best way to ensure against overpaying or getting less than what you’ve paid for is to get a life insurance policy review completed by a knowledgeable advisor.”
