In an insurance policy, the insurer agrees to pay a certain amount of money to the beneficiary in the event of the purchaser’s death, all in exchange for premiums that the insured is required to pay. The policy is in place to offer a peace of mind in case the unexpected happens, not as a tool for investing money.
