14 Ene 2016, 00:00 AM CST

FORT WORTH, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–America’s career military families are focused on permanent life
insurance products as supplemental coverage to their government
benefits, according to a story in the Winter 2015-2016 issue of Journey,
the online magazine for clients of First Command Financial Services, Inc.

Titled “Demand
for permanent life insurance hits record high in military families,”
the story reports that three-quarters of middle-class military
families owned some form of permanent life coverage in 2015. That’s up 7
points from the previous year. Demand is expected to keep growing. The
story reports that 44 percent of military families who don’t own a
permanent life policy say they are likely to consider purchasing it for
themselves or someone in their household.

“Adding permanent life insurance to government-provided coverage allows
servicemembers and their families to more fully and effectively address
their present and future needs,” said Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command
Financial Services, Inc. “This add-on strategy allows families to focus
on the current uncertainties of military life – uncertainties that can
include the risk of a combat death – as well as pursue long-term
financial security.”
