Retained Asset Services (ras)
Definition of "Retained asset services (ras)"
Insurance company program in which the beneficiary of an insurance policy is encouraged to leave the death proceeds in an account on deposit with the insurance company instead of receiving a lump sum payment. If the beneficiary elects to participate in the RAS, a bank account is established in the beneficiary's name and the beneficiary will receive a personalized checkbook. The RAS provides the insurer with a vehicle to retain assets to invest as well as a means to cross-sell additional insurance products to the beneficiary.
