deferred dividend policy
A policy of life insurance wherein it is stipulated that the insured is not entitled to any part of the surplus or dividend, otherwise accruing upon the policy annually, until the expiration of a dividend period, which may be 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, even 20 years, depending upon the stipulation, and if he dies, and his policy shall be paid within the period, the dividends accumulated on his policy are lost and go to augment the dividend fund to be applied to other policies of the same class which survive the dividend period. Maddox v Mutual Life Ins. Co. 193 Ky 38, 234 SW 949, 22 ALR 1276. Benefiting survivors, as it does, the stipulation has a tontine element. See tontine policy.
