The size of our life-licensed sales force grew to 98,358 at December 31, 2014 from 95,566 at December 31, 2013 and 97,966 at September 30, 2014. In the fourth quarter, recruiting of new representatives increased 13% to 43,054 compared to the year ago quarter driven by improved incentive programs and messaging. New life insurance licenses of 8,510 were in line with the fourth quarter a year ago as new life insurance licenses typically lag recruiting. Sequentially, recruiting of new representatives declined from 49,055 and new life insurance licenses were down from 8,793 compared with the third quarter of 2014 reflecting seasonally lower activity in the fourth quarter. The percentage of license non-renewals and terminations in relation to the size of the sales force was slightly higher compared to the third quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013.
|
|
●
|
Term life insurance policies issued in the fourth quarter increased 8% compared with the prior year quarter and increased 3% from the third quarter of 2014, partially driven by strong recruiting and sales force initiatives in the fourth quarter. Productivity in the fourth quarter of .19X policies per life licensed representative per month increased from .18X in the fourth quarter a year ago and remained consistent with the third quarter of 2014. The average annualized term premium per issued policy was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Investment and Savings Products sales were $1.46 billion, up 14% compared with the prior year period, resulting in 2014 having the highest ever ISP sales in a single year of $5.68 billion. Expansion of our variable annuity products led to the fourth quarter being one of the largest variable annuity sales quarters in the history of the company. On a sequential basis, ISP sales increased 6% compared with the third quarter of 2014. Client asset values increased to an all-time high of $48.66 billion, up 8% at December 31, 2014 relative to a year ago, and increased 3% from the end of the third quarter, primarily reflecting market performance.
