Introduction To Life Insurance

A life insurance policy is a contract between the insurer and the policyowner which is enforceable based upon the contingencies defined in the policy. Whether for personal or business needs, life insurance provides a practical solution for economic uncertainties and losses. Planning ahead to protect a beneficiary against life’s unexpected hardships is the essence of a life insurance policy.


Key Parties of the Life Insurance Policy


Policyowner: This is the individual who pays the premium. The owner of the policy has other rights under the policy such as receiving dividends, borrowing from the cash value etc., and may also be the insured, the beneficiary or another third party such as a creditor or business partner.

The Insured: The individual whose death causes the policy benefits to be paid. The insured may also be the owner of the policy.

The Beneficiary: The individual, organization, trust or even the insured named in the policy to receive the benefits of the policy


Life insurance Types and Uses


  • Term Life – Coverage amount and duration of protection are specifically set in the policy.
  • Whole Life – Provides protection for the duration of the insured’s life with the added feature of cash accumulation.
