Variable universal life insurance (VUL) is a type of permanent life insurance policy that allows you to invest the cash component for a higher return.
VUL insurance policies are built like traditional universal life insurance policies, but allow you to invest cash value in the market through sub-accounts.
As a result, a return to the cash component is not guaranteed from year to year.
VUL policies are not meant to be a stand-alone investment, but rather a form of life insurance.
Death benefit is a payment to the recipient of a life insurance policy, an annuity or pension in the event of the death of the insured or the recipient of the annuity.
