What Is Universal Life Insurance? Pros, Cons and Cost
Universal life insurance is one of those options that often sparks interest—and questions—when we work through life insurance strategies with our clients at ASM Insurance & Financial Services. Unlike term life, universal life provides lifelong coverage and stands out for its flexibility: you can adjust your premiums, tailor the death benefit, and even build cash value over time. There are a few different types—guaranteed, indexed, and variable—each with its own features. While universal life offers more flexibility and potential benefits, it does come with greater complexity and typically higher costs than term life. Riders can be added for extra protection, depending on your needs. Our goal is always to make these choices clear and approachable, so you can decide what fits your goals, your family, and your budget—without overwhelm or confusion.
