What is Variable Life Insurance?


Variable life insurance differs from whole and universal life in that policy owners direct the distribution of their premium payments among several different accounts or funds rather than of the company's choosing. Typical account choices are: common stock, bond, mortgage, and money-market accounts.

With a variable policy, the death benefit and cash value benefits vary in relation to the value of the investments underlying the policy. If the value of the accounts increases, so will the benefits; if the value of the account decreases, so will the benefits, subject to a minimum guarantee. Variable life insurance is more risky to the policy owner than the other forms of cash value insurance, but there is a possibility of greater returns.

Variable life insurance is so much like "normal" investing that agents offering it must be licensed securities dealers and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Please note that we chosen to not become licensed to sell variable life insurance because we feel that the risk is too great for life insurance planning. We take a conservative to moderate approach in our philosophy.
