Morningstar Fact Sheets

A variable universal life (VUL) insurance policy is primarily purchased to provide death benefit protection. Additionally, owning a policy requires decisions about allocating your policy cash values among the product's variable and fixed investment options. Every investment involves some level of risk for the opportunity to earn a greater return. Finding the right balance between them is critical.

Risk Reward Spectrum & Morningstar Fact Sheets

With its variable life insurance products, Pacific Life offers a broad range of investment options. In the chart below, the variable investment options shown near the top may provide you with the potential reward of greater returns, if you are willing to take on additional risk. When evaluating these investment options, you and your financial professional* should select your investment options based on your unique investment objectives, financial circumstances, and willingness to tolerate risk. 

The investment options within each subcategory are listed alphabetically and do not illustrate a continuum of risk/reward. Generally, portfolios of fixed income securities are less aggressive than portfolios of equity securities. While fixed income portfolios tend to be less aggressive, they still carry a variety of risks, and some will have more risks than others.

There is greater potential for higher returns through the variable investment options, but your investment is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the variable investment options you have chosen. Each variable investment option will have its own unique risks. The value of each variable investment option will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. You can lose money by investing in the policy, including loss of principal and prior earnings. Therefore, the actual value of any policy distribution can be greater or less than its original cost. You bear the risk of any variable investment options you choose. You should read each Fund prospectus carefully before investing. You can obtain a Fund prospectus by contacting your life insurance producer or by clicking here. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Not all funds and fund share classes listed below are available in all VUL insurance products. Please refer to your VUL insurance product prospectuses for the applicable funds and share classes.

Insurance products and their guarantees, including optional benefits and any crediting rates, are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company, but they do not protect the value of the variable investment options.

Neither these entities nor their representatives make any representation or assurance regarding the claims-paying ability of the life insurance company.
