Universal Life Insurance

Universal life is permanent, flexible insurance coverage. It includes the opportunity to adjust the premium and the death benefit, as well as accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis.

Universal life coverage may be right if you:

Need coverage to protect your loved ones from the financial consequences of your death
Value the opportunity to accumulate cash value that you can later access to pay for expenses such as college funding or emergencies
Want the flexibility to adjust your payments and death benefit amount*
Have maxed out your IRA or 401(k) and need additional options to save for retirement

What is included in a universal life insurance policy?

Permanent Coverage
As long as premiums are paid on time, you have coverage for the rest of your lifetime.

Tax Advantages
Income tax-free death benefit, potential for tax-deferred** cash value accumulation & income tax-free policy loans/ withdrawals.

Accelerated Death Benefits
Early access to a portion of your death benefit in the event of a terminal or chronic illness.

Flexible Premiums and Benefits
Unique option to change the premium payment amount, payment frequency and death benefit amount.

Why people choose universal life insurance:

Lifetime protection

From the first day the policy is in effect, UL can provide an income tax-free death benefit to help protect your family’s financial wellbeing. 4
And as long as you keep a positive cash value amount, your coverage can’t be cancelled.

Cash value

Like all permanent life insurance, it has a built-in cash value that grows over time and earns interest. 5
You can take out policy loans against the cash value, use it to pay your premiums, or even use your coverage for cash to supplement your income in retirement. 6

Flexible premiums

UL lets you raise or lower your payments within certain limits as your circumstances change. While you may eventually have to pay higher premiums to keep your coverage, that flexibility can make it easier to keep your insurance policy in force if your earnings vary.

Tax advantages

The policy’s cash value grows on a tax-deferred basis, so no taxes are owed on current earnings or interest. Also, the death benefit is paid income-tax-free to beneficiaries.

The flexibility and freedom of universal life also mean that there are fewer guarantees

In a whole life policy, the premiums, cash value growth, and death benefit are guaranteed not to change. With a Universal Life Insurance Policy, all those things are designed to be flexible. However, the amount of premiums you pay affects cash value growth. And as you use funds from the cash value, it will affect the amount your family receives when you’re gone. It could even cause the policy to lapse, so you should stay in contact with your financial professional to help make sure your policy continues to meet your needs.

Frequently asked questions about universal life insurance

How to get universal life insurance

Universal life is a flexible way to get a permanent life insurance policy and build cash value. The premiums are flexible: you can raise or lower payments within certain limits set by the insurance company. It can be an option to cover people with variable incomes because the cash value also allows them to make withdrawals and policy loans.

What is indexed universal life insurance?

Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance policy that combines death benefit protection with a cash value component. The cash value of an IUL is tied to a stock market index, such as the S&P 500, allowing the cash value to grow based on the performance of the index, subject to a certain floor and cap. However, your money isn’t invested in the market – the index just provides a reference for how much interest the insurance credits to your account. If you want to maximize potential cash value growth from higher returns, consider a variable universal life policy, where you are actually invested in the stock market.

What are the disadvantages of universal life insurance?

With more options than term or even whole life coverage, a UL policy can be complex. The policy needs to be managed: you need to determine how much you want to pay for premiums, and with variable UL, you also have to make investment choices. Those variables, along with a cost of insurance that increases over time, can affect and even detract from the value of your cash value. So you also have to keep an eye on your value balance over time: If it goes down to zero, your premiums could go up, or the policy may lapse.

What is the difference between whole and universal life insurance?

A UL policy gives the insured person many of the same permanent protection and benefits as whole life coverage, along with the added benefit of a flexible premium to help accommodate variable earnings. In addition, depending on the life insurance company and policy, you may also have the option to invest your cash value in a variety of market-based investment options, giving you the potential for more growth. On the other hand, universal life offers fewer (and/or lower) cash value guarantees.
