Universal Life Insurance

What is Universal Life Insurance?

It is a permanent life insurance coverage combined with an investment component. With these types of policies generally, you can see what portion of your premiums are used to cover the cost for your insurance policy coverage and how much is left to invest in a tax-deferred investment account.
If you are looking for a permanent life insurance policy that can be utilized as a source of funds for your heirs, then Universal Life Insurance is the best option. It can help:
  • In covering your final expenses.
  • Replace your lost future income in the event of your death.
  • Offset the taxes which will become payable on your RRSP when you pass away.
  • Decrease the impact of taxes on other taxable assets in your estate.
  • Increase the transfer of your wealth to your dependants in a tax-efficient way
  • Leave a financial gift in your name to a charity of your choice.
