Life Insurance FundamentalsQuestion 390 of 716

An adjustable life policy is distinctive because it allows the policyowner to:

a.Invest the cash value directly in stock market sub-accounts and change the fund allocation from quarter to quarter
b.Receive a guaranteed annual dividend regardless of results
c.Reconfigure the coverage between term and permanent and change the premium and face amount as needs change
d.Skip all future underwriting for any increase in coverage

Explanation

Adjustable life lets the owner change the policy's structure over time, shifting the balance between term and permanent coverage and altering the premium and face amount as circumstances change, all within a single contract. Investing cash value in sub-accounts describes variable life. Dividends are never guaranteed. And significant face-amount increases still generally require evidence of insurability. Adjustability, without switching policies, is what sets this product apart.
