Fidelity has a variety of investment options through mutual funds and insurance instruments to help clients establish a well thought out financial plan. Life insurance is an important part of most people's overall financial portfolio for the following reasons:

• life insurance proceeds are generally tax-free;
• life insurance proceeds enable dependents to continue making mortgage payments, as needed, if the insured dies; and
• life insurance proceeds can be used to pay the bills without having to liquidate savings or other investments.

Fidelity offers term life insurance in all fifty states and the District of Columbia for people ages 18- 70. Additionally, Fidelity's Insurance Need Calculator or the calculators on this page can help you identify the amount of insurance you need based on your income and college planning.
