The Best of Both Worlds
Often considered an "Investment" product, Universal Life combines the advantages of life insurance protection with those of flexible investment options.
Tax-advantaged growth
Investment income earned within the policy will grow in a tax-sheltered manner, to a maximum specified under the Income Tax Act. This maximizes the net worth of the capital you invest.
Creditor protection
Policies may be protected from the claims of creditors provided a certain family relationship exists between you and your named beneficiary.
Probate bypass and tax free benefits
The proceeds from the policy can be paid directly to the named beneficiary tax-free, bypassing the estate and the delays and expenses surrounding probate.
Accessible cash values
You can withdraw a portion of the cash value built up within the policy.
Flexible protection
This feature gives you the flexibility to fund insurance needs by:
Increasing or decreasing premiums
Paying at unscheduled dates
Stopping and restarting payments
Paying premiums with the accumulated tax-free fund value from your policy.
