About Us
Universal Life Insurance is a form of permanent life insurance coverage. This type of life insurance provides both a death benefit and a cash value component where the funds are allowed to grow tax-deferred.
Universal life insurance policies have many moving parts. There are many things to consider when purchasing a universal life insurance policy, including flexible premiums, death benefit options, cash value growth, fees, and how the policy is funded over time.
Universal Life Insurance can offer flexible premiums and a level or increasing death benefit. A policyholder may be able to adjust how premium dollars are directed, subject to policy guidelines and requirements.
A policyholder can overfund the policy in addition to the monthly premium and build cash value. The cash value may grow interest over time and may be borrowed from or used to subsidize life insurance policy premiums in the future.
Indexed Universal Life Insurance plans are similar to traditional universal life insurance, but the cash value may earn a return based on increases in an equity index, such as the S&P 500, rather than a fixed rate.
Universal life insurance and indexed universal life insurance policies can be very complicated insurance policies to understand and are best purchased through an insurance professional.
Understanding all the moving parts can be a very detailed process, and it is advised to seek professional assistance to understand how to best utilize the benefits of the insurance policy you are purchasing.
We at Healthcare American are experts in these types of policies and would be happy to speak with you and provide our expertise.
