Transamerica’s Trendsetter Super Series life insurance policy offers coverage at a level elected by you at competitive premiums. The life insurance policy also offers a choice of initial terms of 10, 20 or 30 years with guaranteed and level premiums to suit your needs.

The premiums will then increase annually until the insured’s age 95. With a high sum assured for a fixed term and your liquidity intact, you are offered the best of both worlds. In addition, Trendsetter Super Series provides you with the flexibility to convert your policy to a permanent life insurance policy if you need lifelong protection later.
