How does the value of client's financial means increase in "traditional products of life insurance" ? What is the Interest benefit?
In case of "traditional products of life insurance" the premium and the sum insured are determined exactly when the policy is issued and the insurance company guarantees these amounts during the whole period of insurance. In order to meet these guaranteed liabilities the insurance company has to establish sufficient mathematical reserves and evaluate them at least with technical interest rate. In other words - the insurance company guarantees that the financial means of clients are evaluated with technical interest rate.
If the insurance company succeeds to evaluate mathematical reserves with higher interest rate, then the client will be given the part of this excess of interest as Interest benefit. The Interest benefit is created by investing of mathematical reserve at the end of the calendar year that follows the first anniversary of the effective date of the insurance. The Interest benefit is credited to the client's account at the end of each calendar year. However, in case of an insurance event, the insurance company will pay this benefit even for the period that passed from the previous calendar year.

How do we exempt from the payment of premium?
This is a possibility only for clients who have bought "Additional insurance in case of exemption from the payment of insurance premium" or "Additional insurance for the benefit of children". The client must be unable to perform any job yielding a profit or other earning for at least 6 months. We exempt the client from the first insurance premium following the start of such disability. We terminate the exemption after the termination of such disability. I.e., the insurance maturity date, from which we shall exempt him/her, must fall within the period of this disability. If the client has already paid the premium, from which he/she could have been exempted, we shall return the insurance premium to him/her. Exemption is related to disability where he/she is unable to work only caused by illness or an injury, which occurred after the insurance commencement.
