  • Life Insurance
DEF

Life insurance contracts, with premiums that may be variable at the discretion of the insured and that separate the savings component from the insurance component. In practice, term-life-insurance premiums for face value less accrued savings, based on the company's current rates, are deducted from the premiums paid, the balance of which is invested in a mutual-fund-like instrument, on which interest accrues at current rates.

Domaine(s)
  • Assurance sur la vie
DEF

Contrat d'assurance-vie dont les primes peuvent varier à la discrétion de l'assuré et selon lequel le volet épargne est distinct du volet assurance. En pratique, le montant équivalant aux primes d'assurance-vie à terme pour la valeur indiquée sur la police moins l'épargne accumulée - basé sur les taux courants de la compagnie - est déduit des primes effectivement payées, le solde étant investi dans un instrument semblable à un fonds mutuel qui produit des intérêts en fonction des taux en cours.
