Average policy size
Article Abstract:
The average amount of a new life insurance policy grew very little in 1991. New policies in 1991 averaged $69,927, only $25 more than the average for a new 1990 policy. Recession and low interest rates suppressed the industry and may have caused new business to look into interest-related products rather than life insurance. Hardest hit by the loss of business and low policy rates were mutual insurance companies. Stock insurance companies, which have been on a downward trend since 1987, fell but did not have the same large drop in policy size as mutuals.
