Lifetime Coverage With Flexibility

Universal life insurance offers permanent protection for Wisconsin families, with the ability to adjust premiums and death benefit within policy limits. For Sherwood and Appleton households whose income or needs change over time, UL can adapt—pay more when you want to grow cash value, pay minimums when budgets tighten, and keep coverage in force as long as costs are met.

How Universal Life Works

A universal life policy includes a cash value account that earns interest (or an index-linked credit in certain designs). Monthly insurance charges are deducted from cash value; keeping enough value in the policy is key. Head Insurance Agency monitors performance and helps you tune funding levels so the policy stays healthy. If you prefer fixed guarantees and steady growth, whole life insurance is an alternative; for budget-first needs, term life insurance can cover near-term goals.

Universal Life vs. Whole Life

UL emphasizes flexibility and potential for higher value with strong funding; whole life emphasizes guarantees and simplicity. Many Fox Valley clients blend products—keeping a stable whole life base and adding UL for adjustable coverage.
