Key highlights
- Lifetime death benefit coverage

- Flexible premiums
- Cash value growth potential based on index performance and cap rate
- Downside market protection
Considerations
- Policy fees and expenses might be higher than with other policies
- Earning potential is lower than variable universal life because most policies are subject to cap rates
Variable universal life insurance
Similar to indexed universal life insurance, but premium payments can be allocated among different investment options to offer the potential for even greater cash value accumulation
Key highlights
- Lifetime death benefit coverage
- Flexible premiums
- Cash value growth potential and access
- Cash value is invested without the limit of a cap
Considerations
