It is important to note that the insured has the option to reinstate his \/ her contract after being notified by the insurer of the cessation of contributions. The reinstatement policy<br \/>\ndepends on the underwriting policy of each insurer.<\/p>\n<p>We note three types of font fall:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Falls of type I policies, these are the falls of policies recorded in the first year of contributions, that is to say, 1st month in the 12th month; (Most observed type on the market)<\/li>\n<li>Type II policy falls, these are the types of contributions recorded between the 13th month and the 23rd month of contributions;<\/li>\n<li>Falling type III policies, these are bought-back contracts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>NB: Cancellations \/ refunds are not considered as falling fonts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_465062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-465062\" style=\"width: 407px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-465062\" src=\"https:\/\/en.financialafrik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Capture-d\u2019e\u0301cran-2019-03-03-a\u0300-10.00.20.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Capture-d\u2019e\u0301cran-2019-03-03-a\u0300-10.00.20.png 324w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Capture-d\u2019e\u0301cran-2019-03-03-a\u0300-10.00.20-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-465062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphic illustrating the Police Falls of the Annuity Education (10 year term) of a portfolio of a company&#8217;s life market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The impact of falling fonts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main actors in the marketing of a life insurance product are: the insured, the insurer (the company) and the intermediaries, for various reasons. The primary role of the insured is the payment of contributions in order to benefit from future benefits,<br \/>\nthe role of the insurer is to guarantee the payment of future benefits while the role of the intermediary is to bring the prospect \/ insured to the insurer.<br \/>\nA little further down, we will present the reasons why we believe that policy falls have a major impact on the key players mentioned above.<br \/>\nHowever, there are factors that are also impacted by the drop in policies, this is the company in general, the government and the tariff parameters such as the acquisition and management fees, the mortality and the death rate. &#8216;interest.<\/p>\n<p>Below, the different reasons why these actors or factors are impacted by the falls of the policies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The insured<\/strong><br \/>\na. <strong>Loss of valuable protection:<\/strong> With the cessation of payment of contributions, the insured loses all the guarantees subscribed. Because according to Article 73 of CA CIMA, when a premium or a fraction of premium is not paid within ten days of its expiry, the insurer sends the contractor a registered letter, informing him that at the end of a period of forty days from the sending of this letter the lack of payment entails the termination of the contract in case of non-existence or insufficiency<br \/>\nof the surrender value, or the reduction of the contract.<\/p>\n<p>b. <strong>Loss of initial premiums:<\/strong> When policies fall, initial premiums are lost if there is no or insufficient cash value.<\/p>\n<p>c. <strong>Loss of Savings:<\/strong> Section 73 of CA CIMA mentioned above states that in the event of a policy crash we have two options, that is, the policy is terminated as a result of the loss of the original premiums (ie Savings) or the contract is reduced, and in this case the insured receives only a fraction of the contributions to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The insurer<\/strong><br \/>\na. <strong>Braking future profits:<\/strong> The fall in policies leads to the reduction of contributions and consequently the reduction of the mathematical reserves which leads to a brake on future returns on investment.<\/p>\n<p>b. <strong>Loss of initial subscription expenses:<\/strong> Costs incurred by life insurance companies when subscribing to new business are generally very high, including commissions, administrative expenses, communication, marketing, etc., and therefore premature and abusive falls in policies usually result in the insurer not recovering these expenses.<\/p>\n<p>c. <strong>Unproductive Efforts:<\/strong> The insurer makes a lot of effort on new business that dies before it has the opportunity to recover the original expenses or charges.<\/p>\n<p>d. <strong>Poor image due to bad publicity by disgruntled policyholders<\/strong>: The majority of policyholders who do not receive a cash surrender value following the termination of their contract, generally accuses insurers of unduly benefiting from their initial contributions. And therefore discourages their entourage to subscribe to a life insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>e. <strong>Work organization:<\/strong> The fall of life insurance policies in life companies usually leads to a new organization of work, either by creating a new collection service, or by setting up new subscription procedures etc &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intermediate<\/strong><br \/>\na. <strong>Declining revenues<\/strong>: The fall in policies leads to a fall in production and consequently lower commissions (income) for intermediaries.<br \/>\nb. Unproductive Efforts: Intermediaries provide a lot of energy for unstable business and therefore are not always rewarded for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The society<\/strong><br \/>\nDependence on financial assistance from friends or relatives: The fall of policies leads to the loss of collateral as mentioned above and therefore, in case of disasters, people who have lost their insurance coverage or their beneficiaries are literally dependent on friends or family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The economy<\/strong><br \/>\nFinancing the economy: the fall in policies leads to the reduction of the turnover of life companies as well as the reduction of their provision and consequently reduces their contribution in the financing of financial structures and the economy in general.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Falling fonts: The causes<\/strong><br \/>\nIn our presentation, we identified several causes of premature falls in life insurance policies. There are external causes and internal causes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>External Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Socio-economic class of the insured<\/li>\n<li>Availability of other investment options<\/li>\n<li>Specific characters of the insured<br \/>\n\u2756 Wealth and savings<br \/>\n\u2756 Education<br \/>\n\u2756 Age<br \/>\n\u2756 Gender (less for women)<br \/>\n\u2756 Urban or rural rental (More in rural areas)<br \/>\n\u2756 Available capital (More for low capital insured)<br \/>\nMacroeconomic factors<br \/>\n\u2756 Available income<br \/>\n\u2756 Government policies on taxes<br \/>\n\u2756 Economic development of the country.<br \/>\nAll of these factors are beyond the control and influence of life insurance companies. But the internal factors below are controllable and influential by them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Internal causes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Insurance product design<br \/>\n\u2756 Types of products (More drop on mixed products)<br \/>\n\u2756 Frequency of contributions (No more drops for monthly contributions)<br \/>\n\u2756 Contract durations (More falls for long duration products)<br \/>\n\u2756 Method of payment (no more drop in cash contributions).<\/li>\n<li>Marketing and personal strategies<br \/>\n\u2756 Activity planning<br \/>\n\u2756 Education of the commercial team (commercial agent, commercial executives,<br \/>\nmarketing, career profile &#8230;)<br \/>\n\u2756 Customer Education<br \/>\n\u2756 Market study<br \/>\n\u2756 Recruitment, training and mode of remuneration of commercial<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Falling fonts: Costs<\/strong><br \/>\nIn some companies in the market, there are policy falls on some products of around 50% over the first two years of contributions.
