Universal Life Insurance
Universal life insurance is a flexible form of permanent life insurance that gives policyholders the ability to adjust their premiums and death benefit over time. Like whole life, it builds cash value — but with the flexibility to increase or decrease coverage and premium payments as your life circumstances change. The cash value in a universal life policy can grow based on current market interest rates or be tied to an index, depending on the type of policy. For people who want permanent coverage with adaptability built in, universal life is worth understanding.
