New
electronic rates for Term Assurance and
Critical Illness
Cover
As
part of Legal & General's long term commitment to the
protection market, we will be introducing a further reprice to
some of our electronic premiums for our term assurance
products, with effect from
04 March 2007.
Due
to the intensely competitive nature of the protection market,
we have responded where necessary to recent market movements
by our competitors. This reprice affects electronic
premiums for
Level
and Decreasing Term Assurance and Level and Decreasing Term
Assurance with Critical Illness Cover (CIC) (guaranteed and
reviewable premiums).
Average
premiums will be broadly decreased, however you may notice a
number of premiums remain unchanged or have increased.
This
reprice significantly improves our competitive position,
particularly for Critical Illness Cover.
The
new premiums will be available from the following
systems:
Legal
& General's Online Protection (OLP) and portals such as
the Exchange, Webline, Assureweb and Bankhall
Online.
