  Group Variable Universal Life Insurance

Effective May 1, 2010 GM has revised the life insurance coverage for all active salaried employees. The plan coverage has changed from the MetLife Group Term Life Insurance to MetLife Group Variable Universal Life (GVUL) Insurance.

With the GVUL Insurance, employees have the option to make after-tax contributions to a tax-deferred investment account. These are contributions made after any additional costs have been paid for purchased insurance in excess of two times salary. Participants will have 19 investment options available in this tax-deferred account.

Below are model portfolio recommendations for those employees who choose to make investment contributions to the GVUL. Participants should consider their timeframe in which they intend to utilize these funds as well as their personal risk tolerance when determining an investment strategy for this account.

Should you elect to participate in the tax-deferred investment account, the minimum contribution will be $25.00 per month and the contribution amount can be updated at any time throughout the year.

Before making any investment decision on whether to contribute to your GVUL, feel free to contact Mainstay Capital Management, toll-free at 1-866-444-6246 to discuss the allocations below or your personal situation.
