How later courts describe this case

  • contract gave the insurance company the right periodically and unilaterally to change the prospective interest rate
  • fraud occurs only when a person of ordinary prudence and comprehension would rely on misrepresentations; no reasonable person would rely on puffery that an investment will earn the "highest" rate of return
  • contract gave insurer right to alter interest rate to beneficiaries’ disadvantage
