PBR and CSO – what does it mean?
- Principal Based Reserves are new reserving requirements that must be implemented by 1/1/20. PBR makes reserving specific to a carriers’ own mortality, lapse, and investment experience, rather than the prior approach where all carriers used the same standard formula.
- The new CSO or life expectancy tables must also be implemented by 1/1/20. The CSO table is used for calculating a policy’s minimum cash value, statutory reserves, and minimum death benefit to premium ratio for the policy to be considered life insurance..
Pricing will change – NOW is the time to get coverage! Lock in your clients’ insurability and rates!! Principal’s portfolio is currently very competitively priced. The attached reflects Principal’s plan for repricing products – some have been introduced, some will be coming later this year.
