What is Universal Life Insurance

Universal Life (UL) insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that combines the basic protection of lifelong coverage with a tax-deferred investment component. The total premium consists of two parts: the basic premium and the additional premium, which can be separated.

  • Basic Premium (Minimum Deposit): This is the mandatory amount that must be paid. As long as the policyholder pays this amount on time, the insurance policy remains in force.

  • Additional Premium: This is optional. The policyholder can choose not to contribute extra, invest a partial amount, or contribute up to the Maximum Deposit limit. As long as the total contribution does not exceed the annual maximum limit, the investment growth remains tax-deferred.
