Life Insurance Basics
Who bears the investment risk in a variable life policy?
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. In a variable contract the values follow the performance of the subaccounts the owner selects, so the owner carries the investment risk. A fixed contract is backed by the general account with the insurer guaranteeing the rate.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, fixed versus variable life
