Series 7 Exam Prep 42, Variable Life and Insurance Products

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 the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - That in variable insurance products, the policyholder bears the investment risk, and the cash value fluctuates based on the performance of the separate account. - The key difference between Variable Life (fixed premiums) and Variable Universal Life (flexible premiums and death benefits). - That the separate account holds the investment subaccounts for variable contracts, segregated from the insurer's general account. - Since variable contracts are securities, they must be sold with a prospectus and require both insurance and securities licenses to sell. - While the cash value is not guaranteed, a variable life policy has a minimum guaranteed death benefit.
