Universal Life Permanent Insurance
Universal Life Insurance (UL) is a type of permanent life insurance that combines lifelong death benefit protection with a tax-advantaged investment component. Part of your premium covers the cost of insurance, while the rest goes into a cash value account that grows on a tax-deferred basis.
You can adjust premiums, coverage amount, and investment choices, offering more flexibility compared to whole life insurance.
