Permanent Coverage with Direct Investment Control
Variable Universal Life (VUL) is designed for those seeking the highest growth potential for their policy's cash value. It combines the premium flexibility of Universal Life with the ability to allocate funds directly into market-based sub-accounts, similar to mutual funds. This provides the greatest opportunity for tax-deferred growth, but requires an acceptance of market risk.

In a VUL policy, your cash value is not guaranteed an interest rate (like Whole Life) or tied to an index with a floor (like IUL). Instead, you direct the cash value portion of your premium into underlying sub-accounts—investment portfolios of stocks, bonds, and money market funds.
Risk and Reward: What You Need to Know
Risk and Reward: What You Need to Know
Potential for Unlimited Growth: There are typically no caps on the returns credited to your cash value, allowing you to participate fully in strong market years.
Exposure to Market Loss: The investment risk is transferred to you. Poor performance in your selected sub-accounts can reduce the cash value, potentially requiring you to pay higher premiums to prevent the policy from lapsing.
Flexible Management: You have the flexibility to adjust your premiums (within limits) and reallocate funds between sub-accounts tax-free, offering active control over your strategy.
