surely it would be better to make the payments you would have made into the 
life insurance policy into direct investments? All the life cos will do is 
to invest your premiums, and they will want their fees and disbursements. 
You save these if you invest yourself. Once your payments have produced 
enough, put the funds into a technology based mutual fund.

The questions that I think need to be asked are
(1) can you have a technology based mutual fund in the trust
(2) what are the annual management fees for the trust.

(1) is most likely yes.
