 Life Insurance Solves a Variety of Lifes Challenges Life Insurance is an essential component of a complete financial plan, providing protection for your future. Your financial professional can help you determine the type and amount of insurance you need for your specific situation. Whether you need the temporary protection of term, or a more permanent solution such as universal life, Columbus Life has the solution. Explore the different types of life insurance that are available.  Universal Life Universal Life insurance offers the best of two worlds--a set amount of coverage with a tax-deferred, cash accumulation account based on current interest rates. This permanent insurance plan generally provides lower premiums for those people who have life insurance needs that will stay relatively constant over their lifetimes, or who desire the cash value build-up universal life policies can provide. Some Universal Life products offer you the flexibility to design the product to meet your needs, with the ability to increase or decrease the amount of coverage or premium payments as your circumstances or long-term needs change. It can be a flexible way to meet your long-term insurance needs. While Universal Life insurance policies maintain certain guarantees, they provide benefits that are based on current assumptions for the underlying interest, mortality, and expense formulas. These current assumptions are based on current market conditions and actuarial assumptions, which may change over periods of time. Changes in these assumptions may require additional premium payments in order to meet your needs. These products should be purchased with a thorough understanding of the impact changing circumstances will have on policy benefits and values. A flexible universal life policy can address a wide variety of financial planning needs such as:
Indexed Universal Life Indexed universal life offers growth potential through Indexed Interest Credits with protection from downside risk through a minimum interest rate guarantee. Indexed universal life also offers all the benefits associated with traditional insurance products. With its significant cash value accumulation potential and flexibility, indexed universal life is easily customized for both personal and business applications such as:
Survivorship Universal Life Survivorship Universal Life and Survivorship Variable Universal Life are flexible premium life products issued on two insureds' lives jointly, with the death benefit payable at the second death. Both products feature premium payment and withdrawal flexibility, as well as riders and benefits that meet the special planning needs of high net worth individuals. Survivorship life policies provide funds to your beneficiaries when they are needed most -- upon the death of the second insured. Survivorship Universal Life and Survivorship Variable Universal Life offer features and benefits such as:
Term Life There may be times when you need financial protection for a limited period. Term life insurance provides maximum protection with minimal cost, with coverage for a specific period of time. It is pure life insurance that does not increase in value. If you die within the designated time frame, your beneficiaries will receive the death benefit amount. The younger you are, the lower the premium or price you pay for term insurance. Some term products offer flexible features such as convertibility to a permanent product and return of premium these are a good choice when you cannot predict your future needs. Convertibility means when you decide that you need a more permanent form of insurance, your policy can be converted into a permanent life product without new evidence of insurability. Return of premium allows you to recover part of your insurance premiums at the end of the agreed upon term if you are still living. Term is an ideal solution for a variety of business and personal challenges that could arise from an unexpected death:
Variable Universal Life Variable Universal Life insurance offers the security and tax advantages of life insurance coupled with the growth potential of equity investing. Variable life insurance products offer a unique way to preserve your assets from current taxation, transfer them to your beneficiaries, and accumulate additional assets at the same time. Variable Universal Life addresses a wide range of insurance needs:
With a variable universal life product, you may allocate your premium to an account paying a fixed rate of interest (Fixed Account), or to one or more separate investment options (Sub-Accounts). You have the risk of loss, but you also have the opportunity for gains greater than those normally available in a life insurance product. Investment return and principal value of a variable sub-account will fluctuate and units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. An investor should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses found in the prospectus.

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
