4. What is Variable Universal Life Insurance?

 

This is a form of universal life insurance that combines the premium and death benefit flexibility of traditional universal life insurance and the investment flexibility and risks of variable life insurance. These products are considered securities because the policy owner assumes investment risk associated with the variable investment divisions, whose performance will fluctuate with market conditions. Variable Universal Life is offered by prospectus only, which contains complete information about the product including charges and expenses.  Call today 603-436-3922 for more information about Variable Universal Life.

3. What is Universal Life Insurance?

 

This is adjustable life insurance that allows flexible premium payments,* pays the life insurance benefit if the insured dies before the maturity date, and pays the cash value if the insured is living at the maturity date. A flexible premium is one that may be paid at a scheduled or unscheduled time. When a premium is paid, an expense charge is immediately deducted and the balance is placed in a cash value fund to earn interest at the current rate. Each month, all insurance expense charges necessary to keep the policy in force are paid internally from the cash value, regardless of whether or not the premium was paid. The cost of insurance will increase each year on the policy anniversary based on the attained age of the insured. This is a non–participating policy on which no dividends are payable.

 

* The policy will terminate at any time if the cash surrender value is insufficient to pay the monthly deductions. This can happen due to insufficient premium payments, if loans or withdrawals are made, or if current interest rates or charges fluctuates. Call today 603-436-3922 for more information about Universal Life.

 

Here are answers to four of the most frequently asked questions about life insurance to help you choose the best policies for you and your loved ones.  Call today 603-436-3922

 

1. What is Whole Life Insurance?

 

This is life insurance that remains in force during the lifetime of the insured, provided premiums are paid as specified in the policy. Whole Life provides a guaranteed premium, a guaranteed death benefit, and a guaranteed cash value. While a Whole Life policy is in force you may take out a policy loan against the cash value or receive the cash value (less any policy loans and accumulated interest) should you need to surrender the policy. In addition, a Whole Life policy can pay dividends, which may be used to enhance both the death benefit and the cash value or may be used to reduce your premium payment. Dividends are not guaranteed and policy loans accrue interest and reduce the death benefit. For more information about Whole Life please Call today 603-436-3922.

 

2. What is Term Insurance?

 

This is life insurance, that pays a death benefit provided the insured dies during a specified period, and premiums are paid as designated in the contract. No death benefit is payable if the insured survives past the end of the term. Since premiums paid are used entirely to cover the cost of insurance, there is no cash value on a term insurance policy. Premiums may increase or decrease, depending on the type of term insurance owned. For further information about term life, please Call today 603-436-3922.
