Life insurance

From Kenneth Blake

Types of life insurance may be divided into two basic classes – temporary and

permanent or following subclasses – term, universal, whole life and endowment life

insurance.

Term Insurance Term assurance provides life insurance coverage for a specified

term of years in exchange for a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate

cash value. Term is generally considered "pure" insurance, where the premium buys

protection in the event of death and nothing else.

There are three key factors to be considered in term insurance:

Face amount (protection or death benefit),

Premium to be paid (cost to the insured), and

Length of coverage (term).

Various insurance companies sell term insurance with many different

combinations of these three parameters. The face amount can remain constant or

decline. The term can be for one or more years. The premium can remain level or

increase. Common types of term insurance include Level, Annual Renewable and

Mortgage insurance."

Level Term policy has the premium fixed for a period of time longer than a year.

These terms are commonly 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and even 35 years. Level term is often

used for long term planning and asset management because premiums remain

consistent year to year and can be budgeted long term. At the end of the term, some

policies contain a renewal or conversion option. Guaranteed Renewal, the insurance

company guarantees it will issue a policy of equal or lesser amount without regard to

the insurability of the insured and with a premium set for the insured's age at that time.

Some companies however do not guarantee renewal, and require proof of insurability

to mitigate their risk and decline renewing higher risk clients (for instance those that

may be terminal). Renewal that requires proof of insurability often includes a

conversion options that allows the insured to convert the term program to a

permanent one that the insurance company makes available. This can force clients into

a more expensive permanent program because of anti selection if they need to

continue coverage. Renewal and conversion options can be very important when

selecting a program.

Annual renewable term is a one year policy but the insurance company

guarantees it will issue a policy of equal or lesser amount without regard to the

insurability of the insured and with a premium set for the insured's age at that time.

Another common type of term insurance is mortgage insurance, which is usually a

level premium, declining face value policy. The face amount is intended to equal the

amount of the mortgage on the policy owner’s residence so the mortgage will be
