Unlock Life s Possibilities with Your Insurance Policy The maximum premium limit for the following policy year is $122,774.26. In addition to providing permanent death benefit protection, your policy offers you the opportunity to build cash value that can help you achieve goals during your lifetime, such as college funding, a more comfortable retirement, starting a business, and much more. Your policy cash value can also provide a financial safety net if you face an unexpected financial hardship. Talk to your Penn Mutual Financial Professional about maximizing your policy s strong cash value accumulation potential. Accessing cash values may result in surrender fees and charges, may require additional premium payments to maintain coverage and will reduce the death benefit and policy values. Making loan repayments can help protect the policy death benefit and values. Loans are income tax free as long as the policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC). Withdrawals can cause the policy to become a MEC. Loans will nullify the no-lapse guarantee. Questions?
