Fixed Life and Variable Life Insurance Sound Basis
As your personal situations change (e.g., marriage, birth of a child, job promotions, retirement, relocation, etc.), so will your life insurance needs. Care should be taken to ensure these products are suitable for your long-term life insurance needs. You should weigh your objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance as well as any associated costs before making a purchase of investing.
Fixed and variable life insurance has fees and charges associated with it that include costs of insurance that vary with such characteristics of the insured as gender, health and age, underlying fund charges and expenses, and additonal charges for riders that cusomize a policy to fit your individual needs. Investing involves risk, which includes the ptoential loss of principal.
Universal Life Insurance
Universal life insurance is a form of insurance that can provide life-long protection for you and security for your beneficiaries. In any cash value policy, there are some common features:
- You can cancel or surrender a policy in whole or part and receive cash in a lump sum equal to the current cash value, which increases as you pay premiums. Please read AUL's VUL disclaimer regarding variable universal life policies.
- If you need to stop paying premiums, you can use the cash value to pay premiums and continue your current insurance protection for a specified time.
- You may be able to borrow from the policy, using your cash value as collateral. You must repay the loan with interest or your beneficiaries will receive a smaller death benefit.
Universal life gives you the flexibility, after payment of your first premium, to pay premiums at any time in any amount, subject to certain minimums and maximums. You can also reduce or increase the death benefit more easily than with a whole life policy.
