    Generally it's not advised.

    Because the people who do the best life insurance don't do good savings and vice versa.
    Get two seperate products then you can get the best life insurance and the best savings product from the best organisations.

    What you are asking for is an endowment policy. They are obsolete and hardly any left nowadays. Pure protection with a stocks and shares ISA is more cost effective and tax efficient.
