A Closer Look At Permanent Life Insurance
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008A permanent life insurance policy will remain in force until it matures. At maturity the policy is guaranteed to pay out. There are three main types of permanent life insurance; whole life; universal life; and variable life. They all provide full life cover to protect against the risk of death of the insured.

That is, the policy provides protection against an event that is sure to happen. The policy holder or their beneficiaries will definitely receive a payout. This is a why premiums are much higher than for a term insurance.
