- Endowment policyA life insurance policy that pays the sum assured plus accrued bonus on survival to the end of the term as well as on death — an investment-cum-insurance contract with a level premium.
- Human Life ValueThe present value of the income a person is expected to earn over their remaining working life that is available for dependents — the upper bound on how much life cover is justified.
- Term insuranceLife cover for a fixed period: if you die during the term your nominee receives the sum assured, and if you survive it nothing is paid back. It is the cheapest way to buy protection.
