The usual model of permanent life insurance prioritizes on putting money into the death benefit part, then whatever excess from it will be put into the ‘cash value’ or the investment part of the policy.

In a universal insurance plan, the premium will go first to the investment part, and the interest earned from the investments will then be used to pay your life insurance coverage.
