How Does Variable Life Insurance Work?
- 37376 POINTSview profileDavid G. Pipes, CLU®, RICP®Business Development Officer, T.D. McNeil Insurance Services, Fresno, CaliforniaA variable life policy is a form of universal life. Out of each premium payment a stated amount is withdrawn to pay the insurance cost for a period of time. The balance goes into a fund other than the company’s general fund. In the case of the universal life policy it goes into a special fund. In the case of the variable life policy it goes into a fund where the owner of the policy can select how the money will be invested.Answered on May 5, 2014flag this answer

The difference in this kind of policy lies in the flexibility of your payments, and in its performance. Unlike a term or whole life policy that will have regular, preset premium payment amounts, the universal life policy gives (within limits) you the ability to pay a little more, or a little less on your payments. The way your premium is invested gives you some flexibility also, unlike a more mainstream policy. If you would like more details, please contact me, I'm happy to help. Thanks for asking!Answered on May 7, 2014flag this answer
