We offer two types of life insurance. The first is Term Life and the second is Permanent Life. The fundamental difference between the two types is that one (Term) is designed to last a fixed period of time and the other (permanent) is designed to last a lifetime.
Term Life Insurance can be bought in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30-year increments. Term Life Insurance is good for covering mortgages or other items that are time-specific. It is reasonably priced.
Permanent Life Insurance is Term Insurance with a savings account. It is usually more expensive than Term Life Insurance. It can be designed to last to any age. You may know of this type of insurance as "Whole Life" or "Universal Life". Universal Life Insurance is an interest rate sensitive product that grows cash value tax deferred. The cash value is used to help fund the policy in later years when your cost of insurance rises. Being that Universal Life Insurance is interest rate sensitive, the length of the policy will fluctuate with interest rate increases and decreases.
For example, let's say you purchased a Universal Life Insurance policy that was designed to last to your age 90 at a current interest rate of 4%. After several years of owning your policy, the insurance company declares an interest rate of 5%. This will have a positive impact on your policy by allowing your cash value to grow and your length of your policy to extend. The same holds true in reverse. If interest rates decline, your cash value will decrease and the length of your policy will decrease.
In recent years, the insurance industry has begun to offer guaranteed Universal Life Insurance. This product is not interest rate sensitive and provides a guaranteed death benefit to the length or age you desire.
