Life Insurance
What Is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a financial tool designed to protect the people who depend on you—both now and in the future.
At its core, life insurance provides a payout to your loved ones if you pass away, helping replace income, cover expenses, and maintain stability during a difficult time. But life insurance isn’t only about what happens after you’re gone.
When structured properly, life insurance can also be used while you’re alive.
Certain types of life insurance build cash value over time. This cash value can be accessed during your lifetime and used to:
- Supplement income
- Help cover emergencies or unexpected expenses
- Support long-term financial planning
- Create flexibility as your needs change
Life insurance can also provide peace of mind—knowing that no matter what happens, the people who rely on you are protected.
It’s not about planning for the worst.
It’s about planning responsibly, protecting your income, and creating options for the life you’re living today.
TYPES OF LIFE INSURANCE
Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period of time—typically 10, 20, or 30 years—and is designed to protect your income during the years it matters most.
It’s often the most affordable way to secure meaningful coverage and is commonly used to help cover everyday responsibilities like housing, childcare, education, and debt.
Many term policies also include the option to convert to permanent coverage later, giving you flexibility as your life and needs change.
Best for:
Families, professionals, and anyone looking for cost-effective income protection during key earning years.
Whole life insurance offers permanent coverage with guarantees built in. As long as premiums are paid, the policy provides a guaranteed death benefit and guaranteed cash value growth over time.
The cash value grows predictably and can be accessed during your lifetime, making whole life insurance a long-term planning tool as well as protection for your loved ones.
This type of policy is often used for legacy planning, final expenses, or long-term financial stability.
Best for:
Those seeking lifetime coverage, certainty, and predictable long-term value.
Universal life insurance is a form of permanent coverage that offers flexibility. It allows you to adjust premiums and death benefits within certain limits, helping the policy adapt to your changing financial situation.
The policy builds cash value over time, which can help offset costs or support long-term planning goals.
Universal life insurance is designed for individuals who want permanent protection with more customization than traditional whole life policies.
Best for:
People looking for lifelong coverage with flexible structure and payment options.
Variable universal life insurance combines permanent coverage with investment flexibility. The cash value can be allocated among investment options tied to the market, offering potential for higher growth—but also increased risk.
Because performance depends on market conditions, this type of policy requires active monitoring and a higher tolerance for volatility.
It’s often used as part of a broader financial strategy rather than as standalone protection.
Best for:
Individuals comfortable with market risk who want permanent coverage with investment potential.
