Protective Life is committed to serving our customers and providing valuable products. Due to the current interest rate environment, and particularly the decrease in yields over the past few weeks we find it necessary to implement new premium limits for certain products.

There’s a lot at stake when helping clients prepare for retirement — especially if systematic withdrawals are part of their plans. A poor sequence of returns early in retirement can hit clients’ portfolios without warning and weaken their ability to fund the next 20 or 30 years of their lives.
