Variable universal life

A form of whole life Insurance which combines some features of Universal life insurance, such as premium and death Benefit flexibility, with some features of Variable life insurance, such as more investment choices. Variable Universal life adds to the flexibility of Universal life by allowing the holder to choose among investment vehicles for the savings portion of the Account. The differences between this arrangement and investing individually are the Tax advantages and fees that accompany the Insurance policy.
