Term Life Insurance
Tools and Resources
Term life insurance policies offer insurance protection for a specified term or period of time - typically, one, five, 10, 15, 20 or 35 years, or until a specific age (such as 65). Premiums may increase each year (annually renewable term) or remain level for a set period (level term), and the insurance is generally less expensive than permanent (cash value) life insurance.

American General Term Life Insurance Products

  • AIG Select-a-Term - an alternative to the usual term periods. Select-aTerm provides coverage for 10-, 12-, 15- through 35-year periods
  • AIG ROP Select-a-TermSM - same great alternative terms AND, if you outlive the policy term, get your money back when the term is up.1

At the end of the term period the policy may contain a provision permitting it to be renewed without a medical exam, although the premium rate probably will be higher. Some term life insurance policies include an option to convert to a permanent life insurance policy.

Traditional term life insurance provides a death benefit only; the policies do not offer an opportunity to build cash values. A new product concept known as "return of premium term" returns at the end of the level-premium period the amount of the cumulative premiums paid, if the policy is inforce, and in some cases the contract builds cash value. This is an alternative to traditional term life and permanent insurance products.

1 The cumulative premiums paid on the policy during the level term period (15, 20 or 30 years), not including any substandard and rider charges, will be paid to you at the end of the level term period if the policy is then in force. The premium returned does not take into account any time value of money. Beginning the sixth (6th) policy year, a portion of the cumulative premiums will be returned if you choose to surrender the policy.
