You want to plan for the future. But where do you start? Balancing family protection, estate planning, and potential long-term care needs can be challenging. Nationwide Survivorship Variable Universal Life (VUL) II simplifies things by offering a single solution to address all of these needs.

What is Nationwide Survivorship VUL II?

Nationwide Survivorship Variable Universal Life II is a joint permanent protection product designed for 2 people that lets your cash value grow tax deferred. It provides tax-free death benefits to beneficiaries after both insured individuals have passed.

It also offers market opportunities and tax advantages you won’t find elsewhere, as well as an optional long-term care rider to help offset the cost of future long-term care needs, should either client need it. Our investment lineup features well-known fund managers and more than 50 investment options. Fund options range from simplified, low-maintenance asset allocation options to more involved specialty sector options. These aren’t publicly traded mutual funds and can’t be bought directly by the public.

Please consider that asset allocation does not guarantee returns or eliminate the risk of potential losses. All investing involves risk, and there is no assurance that the investment objective of any fund will be achieved.

Nationwide and its representatives cannot give legal or tax advice. Please be sure to discuss any specific questions with your legal or tax professional.
