What is a VUL insurance?

A VUL (Variable Universal Life) insurance, also known as Variable Unit-Linked Insurance, is a combination of a permanent life insurance and an investment package. Unlike other life insurance policies, a VUL policy allows for a potential for a steady and consistent growth of your funds.

Some VULs provide opportunities to invest in both dollar and peso market funds, while others allow investment in trusted global enterprises and innovative equity ventures.

Why would I choose a VUL over other life insurance policies?

Despite being a popular insurance and investment option, a good VUL program can only be found in larger insurance providers, such as InLife. Filipinos all over the country opt for the policy because of the following benefits:

Flexible Funds

Reap the rewards of the investments you have already made to address emergency expenses or to enjoy life’s luxuries every now and then.

Better Money Management

Like many similar insurance policies, a VUL requires a monthly cash out. While this seems like an ordinary detail for long-time professionals, it holds benefits for younger Filipinos that are only starting to invest and build on their savings. By setting aside portions of their monthly income for the policy’s premium, they are forced to save which brings them a step closer to managing their finances better.  Invest in a policy that encourages you to save and reap the returns in the long run!

Tax-Free Death Benefit Gains

When we lose a loved one, the last thing we want to think of is spending more just to redeem the finances that they have worked so hard to provide for us. In case of your death, a VUL policy’s joint nature, as both insurance and investment, saves your family from the stress and heartache of having to process additional taxes and documents just to get assets that you have already worked hard to prepare for them.

Potential Higher Investment Returns
