What Is Universal Life Insurance?

Universal life insurance is a form of permanent insurance designed to remain in force when the required policy costs are covered and the contract conditions are met. Depending on the product, it may offer flexibility in premium payments, death-benefit options, and an investment-account component.

The available investment choices, fees, guarantees, and risks vary by policy. Review the illustration and contract details carefully before deciding whether this type of coverage fits your goals.

Who May Consider Universal Life Insurance?

Universal life insurance may be considered by people looking for permanent coverage with more flexibility than a traditional policy structure. It can be relevant for estate planning, long-term protection, or business-planning conversations.

Because results can depend on policy charges, premium funding, and investment performance, an advisor should explain the assumptions and tradeoffs clearly before you apply.
