Types of Life Insurance
Types of Life Insurance
Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance policies are policies that provide affordable, temporary
coverage. Term policies contain no cash value, are designed for death benefit
protection only. The premiums may be level for the first 10, 15, 20 or
30 years, depending on the policy selected. Because the death benefit
protection is for a limited period, the premium is often the lowest of all
types of life insurance policies. However, after the level term period,
premiums go up significantly and increase annually.

earn less than zero percent due to poor market performance.
