2024 Dividend Scale

We are maintaining the policy dividend scale for all “closed block” participating policies purchased before the June 2001 demutualization of Phoenix Life Insurance Company (now Nassau Life Insurance Company), effective January 1, 2024. Our decision reflects consideration of several factors, including historical performance and future expectations.

The average dividend interest rate will remain 4.90% in 2024, with a policyholder’s actual dividend interest rate subject to specific policy terms.

As always, the amount of dividend paid is based on a number of factors including product type, age at issue, length of time the policy has been in force, gender, and health when the policy was issued. Some policyholders may see a decrease for reasons including mortality, loan balances or loan interest rates that affect the size of the dividend paid. However, a policy’s 2024 dividend will be at least equal to 75% of the 2023 dividend prior to loan adjustments.

We are also maintaining the dividend scale for the small number of participating policies in the “open block” (purchased after demutualization).

Please note that when we changed the name of Phoenix Life Insurance Company to Nassau Life Insurance Company, the company name is the only thing that changed. All policy terms, including terms and conditions for dividend-eligible policies, remain the same, and the closed block continues to be managed in accordance with the original Plan of Demutualization.

If you have any questions about your policy, please contact the Nassau Service Center Team at 1-800-628-1936.

2023 Dividend Scale

We are changing the policy dividend scale for all “closed block” participating policies purchased before the June 2001 demutualization of Phoenix Life Insurance Company (now Nassau Life Insurance Company), effective January 1, 2023. The 2023 dividend scale will incorporate a 0.50% (50 bps) dividend interest rate increase across all products, driven by strong investment performance.

As a result, most policyholders will see an increase to the dividend paid in 2023 compared to the dividend paid in 2022, reflecting this higher rate as well as growth in the value of their policy.

We are also making adjustments to the mortality component of dividends to reflect recent experience.  As always, the amount of dividend paid is based on a number of factors including product type, age at issue, length of time the policy has been in force, gender, and health when the policy was issued. Some policyholders will see a decrease for reasons including mortality, loan balances or loan interest rates that affect the size of the dividend paid. However, a policy’s 2023 dividend will be at least equal to 75% of the 2022 dividend, prior to loan adjustments.

We are also making similar changes to the dividend scale for the participating policies in the “open block” (purchased after demutualization).

Please note that when we changed the name of Phoenix Life Insurance Company to Nassau Life Insurance Company, the company name is the only thing that changed. All policy terms, including terms and conditions for dividend-eligible policies, remain the same, and the closed block continues to be managed in accordance with the original Plan of Demutualization.
