An insurance product that combines risk protection (e.g., in case of death) with a payment upon survival to a specified term. The insurer undertakes to pay a sum both if a covered risk occurs and if the insured survives until the end of the policy term. These policies may include additional coverage for accidents, illness, or disability and often have a savings or investment component, with the accumulated value payable at the end of the contract.
