Flexible premiums
Unlike many Life insurance products, with Universal Life you decide when-and how much-to pay toward your insurance policy, within broad limits. Your coverage continues as long as the policy has sufficient cash accumulation to pay the cost of insurance (including fees and insurance charges). Your first premium payment will start your policy and establish its Accumulation Account. The account (minus initial charges) immediately begins earning at a current interest rate. While the current rate is not guaranteed, the account is normally guaranteed to be credited interest at a minimum rate. After your Accumulation Account is set up, the cost of insurance is deducted from the account each month automatically.
Flexible benefits
You specify the amount and type of insurance coverage you need, which can be increased or decreased, within limits. Increases are subject to proof of insurability or size-of-premium requirements.
Increasing Death Benefit
This coverage adds level pure insurance to the cash accumulation. In the event of your death, your beneficiary will receive the face amount of the coverage plus the balance of the Accumulation Account. The monthly amount deducted from your Accumulation Account is adjusted as necessary to continue to provide the insurance coverage you specify. To keep the benefit increasing, the accumulation account must be sufficiently funded. Full coverage is guaranteed for you and your family…or your business…as your financial responsibilities grow.
Level Death Benefit
You can specify that the total death benefit remains level. This coverage can maximize the cash value available for education, business enterprises or retirement.
Tax-deferred cash accumulation
The Accumulation Account belongs to you. It is the source of your cash values. You may surrender the policy for the entire cash value, or make partial surrenders for part of the cash value. A surrender charge is deducted during the first nine years. Based on the current tax laws, all interest credited to your account is tax-deferred. This means you are not taxed each year, but only when you take cash out. And if you wait until retirement, you may be in a lower tax bracket. In addition, you may use part or all the available cash value to secure a loan.
