Insuranceopedia Explains Dividend Illustration

A dividend illustration helps potential clients see the benefits of an insurance policy in terms of dividend returns. It shows the dividends that will be paid to the insured as long as there are no future changes to the factors the insurance company considered when it calculated the dividends. An actuary is tasked with the responsibility of making sure that the dividend illustration reflects the true financial state of the company.
