Actuaries are in charge of figuring out what premium will be charged based on different risk variables. Based on a specific formula using these variables, actuaries can figure out at what age a policyholder will die. As the holder grows older, premiums to the policy can be added. These polices tend to be attractive to young insurance seekers who want to start out with a low cost, flexible premium. It also pays a death benefit to any named beneficiary if the policy holder passes away within the one-year term.
