What Is Universal Life Insurance?Universal life insurance (UL) is a type of permanent life insurance. It is a whole life insurance policy and is designed to pay out a cash lump sum upon death.
UL is also known as 'jumbo' life insurance because of its high coverage level. The death benefit of universal life insurance can range from $1m to $150m and beyond.
How does universal life insurance work?
In a universal life (UL) policy, the premium paid goes toward insurance costs and administrative fees, with the remainder going into investment returns to build up the cash value component. A key feature of UL insurance policies is the flexibility of premium payment.
Policy loans and withdrawals are allowed under UL insurance policies. Surrender charges often apply to withdrawals during the first few years of an insurance policy. But policy loans are available without penalty from the start of year two onwards. Some universal life policies have no lapse guarantees meaning they have guaranteed life cover, regardless of investment performance.
