# Should you use Life Insurance as an Investment?

Unfortunately, there isn't a cookie-cutter answer when it comes to using life insurance as part of your investment portfolio. A clear benefit of investing in insurance products is the tax-deferred treatment of the cash accumulation part of the policy. Of course, the higher your tax bracket and the longer you have until retirement, the more valuable this benefit can be. However, a very important disadvantage of using life insurance as an investment is the high fees and expenses that make it difficult to compete with the returns of even ordinary security instruments, such as mutual funds.

Weigh the pros and cons carefully when deciding whether life insurance has a place in your investment or retirement plans. If it does, educate yourself and shop wisely, preferably opting for low- or no-load products that will meet your needs.
