UL insurance is intended for customers seeking a flexible, customizable life insurance policy that combines life coverage with the possibility of cash value growth. It's perfect for consumers who want more control over their premiums and death benefits, with the ability to alter as financial circumstances or aspirations change over time. UL is frequently chosen by persons seeking a balance between insurance protection and the ability to accumulate cash worth that can rise in response to interest rates or market performance.
This protection mechanism allows you to maintain the same standard of living for yourself or your loved ones by providing liquidity in the case of premature death.
Adjustable Premium Payment Options
Policyholders can vary their premium payments, paying more or less depending on their financial status (within restrictions).
You can use accrued cash value to cover premiums during times of financial hardship, providing temporary respite.
Cash Value Growth
UL insurance generate cash value over time, which grows at a guaranteed interest rate and may earn additional interest depending on market performance or policy type.
This financial value can be accessed via loans or withdrawals for emergencies, education, retirement, or other purposes.
Opportunity for Greater Returns
Compared to whole life insurance, UL policies often offer greater earning potential for cash value, especially when linked to market performance (e.g., indexed or variable UL policies).
Adjustable Death Benefits.
The death benefit can be adjusted to reflect changing life circumstances, such as marriage, having children, or paying off a mortgage. (An increase may necessitate further underwriting.)
Tax Advantages
The cash value grows without being taxed while it accumulates, meaning you defer taxes on the earnings.
Death benefits are generally paid out tax-free to beneficiaries.
Lifetime Coverage
As long as the premiums are paid and the cash value is sufficient to cover costs, UL policies provide lifetime coverage, offering financial security for beneficiaries.
