Universal life insurance can lose cash value, depending on the type of policy and how it is funded. With variable-universal life, poor investment performance can reduce cash value. Other universal life policies can also lose value if insurance costs and fees exceed credited interest or cash value is used to cover premiums. If the policy becomes inadequately funded, it can eventually lapse.
