What Is Variable Universal Life (VUL) Insurance?





Variable universal life is a form of life insurance, specifically it's a type of cash-value insurance policy. (The other types of cash value life insurance are whole, universal, and variable life.) Like any life insurance policy, there is a payout in case of death (also called the death benefit). Like whole-life insurance, the insurance policy has a cash value that enjoys tax-deferred growth over time, and allows you to borrow against it. Unlike either term or traditional whole-life insurance, VUL policies allow the insured to choose how the premiums are invested, usually from a universe of 10-25 funds. This means that the policy's cash value as well as the death benefit can fluctuate with the performance of the investments that the policy holder chose.
