When 5.85% isn’t really 5.85% …

When you run an insurance illustration for your client, 5.85 percent annual interest crediting sounds good. But sometimes that’s not the whole story – in reality, it isn’t really 5.85 percent. Here are three reasons why:
Illustrated rates are based on averages and most years aren’t average
High indexing fees in some indexed accounts can cause a client to lose cash value
Illustrations don’t show the ups and downs, which can be more exaggerated in high-fee/large-multiplier accounts
