1 Earnings within GVUL/GUL coverage grow income tax-free while the policy stays in force. Money allocated to GVUL's variable investment portfolios is subject to market risk, and when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original investment. Employees should consider their investment time horizon, tax rates, and the effect of fees and expenses, including any premium expense charge, when evaluating the benefit of GVUL or GUL tax deferral. See the GVUL/GUL Certificate (and GVUL Prospectus) for complete information.
