Life Insurance Sales and Low Interest Rates

Most can agree the recent rules set in place by the FOMC have made it difficult to maintain a sense of stability in the world of life insurance.  As never done before in the summer of 2011, the Federal Open Market Committee locked in low interest rates until 2013. On top of that later in 2011 a plan was set in action to further lower interest rates as part of the stimulus plan.  This has made it difficult to properly spread funds compiled from policies already in existence with the new, lower interest rate policies coming in.  The obvious solution is to increase sales but due to poor credit ratings less people qualify for the lowered interest rates.
