Investopedia explains 'Contract Holder'

A contract holder of a segregated fund, such as a pool of investments tied together in an life insurance policy, pays premiums to an insurance company so that the contract holder will receive an agreed upon sum in the case of loss. If the life insurance policy holder breaks the terms set forth in the policy, he or she may not be entitled to money despite having paid premiums.
