[38]
insurance company and a policyholder
[41]
where the policyholder pays regular
[43]
premiums in exchange for the insurance

[87]
before we get into the best life
[88]
insurance companies in the us let me
[91]
help you with your homework and pin down
[92]
some key terms that you must know before
[95]
going forward with your plan to purchase
[97]
a life insurance policy in the u.s
[100]
whole life insurance which is sometimes
[102]
referred to as straight life or ordinary
[104]
life insurance is a policy that covers
[107]
the policyholders entire lifetime in
[109]
exchange for the payment of premiums
[111]
these premiums are typically paid up to
[114]
a maturity date which is when the paid
[116]
amount matches the death benefit of the
[118]
policy
[119]
whole life insurance requires consistent
[122]
premium payments and guarantees cash
[124]
value accumulation the cash value
[126]
accumulation is the sum of the initial
[128]
investment and interest earned to date
[131]
which you would obtain if you decided to
[132]
give up the policy to the insurer or you
[135]
decided to forfeit your coverage
[137]
the cash value is distinct from the
[139]
death benefit in a way that your
[141]
beneficiaries would not receive the cash
[143]
value if you died
[145]
another type of life insurance is the
[147]
universal life insurance policy which
[149]
differs from the whole life insurance in
[151]
terms of premium payment flexibility
[153]
universal life insurance typically
[155]
provides higher flexibility when it
[157]
comes to premiums and death benefits in
[159]
a way that can be tailored to the
[161]
particular needs of the insured party
[164]
first let's start with the universal
[165]
life insurance universal life insurance
[168]
comes in a lot of different flavors
[169]
where the policy holder would pay a cost
[171]
of insurance in exchange for what is
[174]
known as a death benefit in the
[176]
beginning the policyholder pays a
[178]
premium which is compared to the annual
[180]
cost insurance and the difference
[181]
between both is deposited in a side
[184]
account
[185]
these side account funds may cover the
[187]
rising cost of insurance as it rises
[189]
with the aging of the policyholder
[192]
it is typically desirable to work
[194]
closely with an advisory team to check
[196]
the performance of such policy and its
[198]
alignment with the policyholders
[200]
requirement
[201]
another type is index universal life
[204]
which allows the policyholder to
[205]
allocate funds to an equity index
[208]
account such as nasdaq or smp to a
[211]
restricted amount
[212]
the huge advantage of the indexed
[214]
universal life is its capacity to
[215]
exploit compound interest and generate
[218]
large amount of non-taxable cash within
[221]
the policy
[222]
cash that can be later accessed to fund
[225]
a well-planned retirement
[227]
another type is variable universal life
[230]
insurance policy
[231]
it allows the holder to invest their
[233]
premiums in one or multiple accounts
[235]
with various investment options
[237]
including stocks mutual funds bond and
[241]
many more investment venues the amount
[243]
and method of investment are dependent
[245]
on the policyholders risk tolerance and
[248]
investment objectives to determine the
[250]
amount of risk to be undertaken now term
[253]
life insurance plans are inexpensive
[255]
when compared to other options since it
[257]
has no cash value until the policy
[260]
holder passes away term life insurance
[262]
provides coverage within an established
[264]
term only unlike the other options that
[267]
provide insurance over the whole life of
[269]
the policyholder but it is worth noting
[272]
that the premiums will possibly go
[273]
through the roof when the term life
[275]
insurance lapses and you want to commit
[277]
to a new policy
[279]
when deciding on which company you would
[280]
like to get a life insurance policy from
