Permanent life insurance options
Universal life insurance
Universal Life Insurance is a flexible policy that allows you to customize both the timing and amount of your premium. Lifetime protection and potential for cash value accumulation give you the freedom to meet your needs today, plan for tomorrow and help protect your family.
Key benefits:
- Amount and frequency of premium payments can be adjusted.1
- Policy account value grows based on a credited interest rate.2
- Withdraw and borrow cash from your policy. Remember to repay funds to avoid decreased cash value and final payout.3
- Protection tailored to meet your needs.
Variable universal life insurance
Like our other Universal Life products, Variable Universal Life Insurance is flexible and offers lifetime protection — so what’s the key difference? This policy allows you the most cash value growth potential. Choosing from investment options spanning a range of risk categories, Variable Universal Life offers the most potential to grow with you, but cash value may change depending on the market.
Key benefits:
- Largest cash value growth potential: Account value varies depending upon the performance of the investment options selected.5
- Withdraw and borrow cash from your policy. Remember to repay borrowed funds to avoid decreased cash value and final payout.
- Transfer funds among different investment options to develop and update strategies as your life needs change.
Considerations before borrowing from your policy
Loans and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and the cash surrender value, and may cause the policy to lapse.3
Indexed universal life insurance
Much like Universal Life, Indexed Universal Life Insurance offers premium payment flexibility and a lifetime of coverage, but with more opportunities to grow your cash value. Earn interest based on the performance of a linked indexed account for the potential to grow your money quicker at a low risk.
Key benefits:
- Policy does not directly participate in any stock or equity investments.4
- Withdraw and borrow cash from your policy. Remember to repay funds to avoid decreased cash value and final payout.
- Flexibility to switch between different premium allocation options as your needs change over time.

5 Variable universal life insurance has annual fees and expenses associated with it in addition to life insurance related charges (which differ with the product chosen), including surrender charges and investment management fees. Variable universal life insurance products are long-term contracts and are sold by prospectus. They are subject to market risk due to the underlying sub-accounts, and are unsuitable as a short term savings vehicle. The primary purpose of variable universal life insurance is to provide lifetime protection against economic loss due to the death of the insured person. Cash values are not guaranteed if the client is invested in the investment accounts. There are risks associated with each investment option, and the policy may lose value.The life insurance policy describes coverage under the policy, exclusions and limitations, what you must do to keep your policy inforce, and what would cause your policy to be discontinued. Please contact your licensed agent or John Hancock for more information, costs, and complete details on coverage to help you determine which policy is suitable for your needs. Availability of policies, features, and benefits may vary by state.
