How Does Genesis Universal Life Insurance Work?
|
|
|
After deduction of the applicable taxes, your premiums are used
to pay the insurance costs and administration fees. Any surplus
premiums are invested in the investment options
of your choice.
|
|
The surplus premiums constitute the “savings” component
of your contract and generate interest that accrues tax free. The
interest generated and the interest bonus, which you are paid starting
at the end of the first year, are reinvested in the investment options
you have chosen.
|
|
You may make withdrawals* from the amounts accumulated in your investment
options at any time.
|
*Certain transaction fees may apply. No surrender
charge applies with the level
cost of insurance option.
|

the growth of your tax-sheltered savings through a full range of
investment options offering competitive returns.
