Life insurance can be expensive but provides huge peace of mind. However, choosing the right policy is essential to ensure you don’t spend more than you need to on premiums and have the right policy in place to support your family.
How Does Life Assurance Act As An Investment?
Life assurance is both insurance and an investment product. Your monthly premiums are split into two parts, with one proportion of the premium being banked towards the final pay out to be made to your beneficiaries, and the other proportion being used as investment funds.
Your life assurance policy will state a minimum pay out in the event of your death, but the more funds invested in your policy, and the more successful the investments made with those funds, the higher the value will grow.
This is also known as life assurance with benefits, with the benefit being the growth in fund value as a result of the investments made.
You can cash in some of the funds in your policy, or could choose to close your policy and claim the fund as a one-off lump sum. However, they may be an exit penalty payable that will be deducted from the cash pay out.
