Variable life insurance plans are the products that take its structure from unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs) but follows the investment pattern of traditional endowment plans. Just like ULIP, these plans allow you to participate in various investment options like bonds and equities. But, the returns are not market-driven and are decided by the company. A part of the premium goes towards buying life protection and another part is invested. Life cover and the savings element can be reviewed and altered during the policy term. Variable life insurance plans can be participating or non-participating plans. Top-ups are allowed in this type of insurance policies.
