Univeral, Whole, and Variable Life
02/13/08 at 16:17:42
 
What is the difference between whole, universal, variable and universal variable life insurance policies? I don't know which one will be the best for me. With this many options, I'll never decide what kind to get.

Here is a short and sweet description:
 
Whole Life Insurance will give you a level premium and a guaranteed level of coverage and rate of return.  
 
Universal Life Insurance allows you to increase/decrease your premium payment and your coverage amount within the minimum and maximum allowable limits.  
 
Variable Life Insurance is a bit riskier, as the performance of your cash value depends on the performance of the investment options you choose (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ect...).  
 
Variable Universal Life Insurance allows you to adjust the premium/coverage amount along with options for where your premium dollars are invested.  
 
All are permanent policies that can cover you to age 100 (or longer depending on the policy) provided you do not cancel or lapse.

you see Variable Universal Life Insurance (often shortened to VUL) is a type of life insurance that builds a cash value. In a VUL, the cash value can be invested in a wide variety of separate accounts, similar to mutual funds, and the choice of which of the available separate accounts to use is entirely up to the contract owner. The 'variable' component in the name refers to this ability to invest in separate accounts whose values vary--they vary because they are invested in stock and/or bond markets. The 'universal' component in the name refers to the flexibility the owner has in making premium payments. The premiums can vary from nothing in a given month up to maximums defined by the Internal Revenue Code for life insurance. This flexibility is in contrast to whole life insurance that has fixed premium payments that typically cannot be missed without lapsing the policy.
 
Variable universal life is a type of permanent life insurance, because the death benefit will be paid if the insured dies any time as long as there is sufficient cash value to pay the costs of insurance in the policy. With most if not all VUL's, unlike whole life, there is no endowment age (which for whole life is typically 100). This is yet another key advantage of VUL over Whole Life. With a typical whole life policy, the death benefit is limited to the face amount specified in the policy, and at endowment age, the face amount is all that is paid out. Thus with either death or endowment, the insurance company keeps any cash value built up over the years. With a VUL policy, the death benefit is the face amount plus the build up of any cash value that occurs (beyond any amount being used to fund the current cost of insurance.)
 
If good choices for investments are made in the separate accounts, a much higher rate-of-return can occur than the low fixed rates-of-return typical for whole life. The combination over the years of no endowment age, continually increasing death benefit and high rate-of-return in the separate accounts of a VUL policy could typically result in value to the owner or beneficiary which can be many times that of a whole life policy with the same amounts of money paid in as premiums.
