These changes will be effective on new business. The TLC product sold in CA, CT, FL, HI, and NY will not be impacted at this time by these changes.
The TLC Advantage
With these product updates, TLC will still have an advantage with, on average, 30% higher leverage than the leading competitor through the insured’s attained age 86.* TLC offers, on average, higher credited interest rates, stronger guarantees and better protection than its leading competitors.
