Types Of Life Insurance

Life insurance comes in different variations of the two basic types: Permanent plans (Whole Life, UL, etc.) and Temporary (term) Insurance.

Permanent Insurance –insurance products that remain in force for the insured’s ‘whole life.’

Whole Life Insurance:

• The insurance contract has premiums (payments) that stay the same for the duration.
• The policy pays a contracted amount upon the death of the insured person.
• The insurance Policy has a guaranteed cash value component. The policy may or may not include dividends depending on whether it is participating or not. The policy is passive – Investments are made by the insurance company.
• As a policyholder, you can opt to borrow or withdraw the guaranteed cash and use it as collateral for a loan.

Universal Life Insurance: is a type of permanent life insurance. It can combine life insurance coverage with the growth potential of tax-advantaged investing under one plan.

A Permanent Life Insurance policy that can include a tax deferred investment component.

• It allows more flexibility than whole life insurance to build cash value.
• Cash value of investments will vary according to risk profile and the type of investments chosen.
• Policy holder can use money in the side account to help pay premiums.
• Universal life insurance can include the variable low-cost protection of term life insurance with a savings component.
• It can be reviewed and adjusted as the policyholder’s circumstances change.

Term Life Insurance – Life coverage for a set period (term) of time.

• Typically it is a pure death benefit and has no investment component (although variations exist).
• Life coverage lasts for a limited period of time, provided that you pay the monthly premium.
• It is the most affordable way to purchase a significant death benefit per premium dollar over a specific period.
• Term insurance products are usually convertible and renewable without evidence of insurability.
• Term insurance is primarily used to provide coverage for large financial responsibilities that will diminish over time. For example, mortgages or education costs, etc.
