from Open Exam Prep
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and CFP designation. He is passionate about opening up information to help everyone prepare better for financial certification exams. This episode covers content for the Series 6 Exam. In this episode you will learn: - Variable life insurance is a permanent policy combining a death benefit with investment options. - Premiums are fixed, with a portion funding the insurance and the rest invested in a separate account chosen by the policyholder. - The policy's cash value fluctuates based on the performance of the chosen subaccounts and is not guaranteed. - The death benefit has a guaranteed minimum (the policy's face amount) but can increase with positive investment performance. - The policyholder, not the insurance company, assumes the investment risk for the potential of higher returns on the cash value.
