Variable universal life insurance (VUL) is designed for individuals in need of permanent life insurance protection with an investment component. The policy’s death benefit can be used to replace lost income, transfer wealth to the next generation or fund a business continuation plan. During the insured’s lifetime, the account value that is accumulated can also provide “living benefits” in a tax-favored manner.² These “living benefits” can be used for college funding, supplemental retirement income or key employee benefits.

¹ Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

² Withdrawals and decreases in Face Amount may have tax consequences. You should consult your tax advisor. Policy loans and/or withdrawals also reduce the cash surrender value and policy death benefit. Taking a policy loan could have tax consequences if the policy terminates before the insured’s death.
