Life Insurance:
It's more than a death benefit

 

In recent years, Americans have experienced economic challenges. While some are maxing out credit cards and cashing in 401(k)s, many overlook life insurance as a potential source for emergency funds. And, few are aware of the investment features some policies offer.

 

When thinking about life insurance, you should know there are two main types: term and permanent. A term life insurance policy pays if the insured dies during the “term” of the policy. Permanent life insurance, the type of policy that offers investment features, combines the death benefit coverage of a term policy with an investment component that can build cash value over time. Some permanent policies also include provisions for policyholders to access money immediately for any reason.
