Investment-sensitive insurance

A general category of insurance products in which the death benefit and the cash value vary according to the insurer's investment earnings. In investment-sensitive insurance products, policyowners share a portion of the insurer's investment risk. The exact benefit amounts for these policies cannot be computed in advance, beyond any guaranteed minimums. The specific products that make up this category of insurance include variable annuities, variable life insurance, and variable universal life insurance.
