用法筆記
CLU is most commonly written in capital letters (CLU) rather than lowercase (clu). It functions as a countable noun — you can say 'a CLU' (the certification) or 'she is a CLU' (a person holding the designation). The full term 'Chartered Life Underwriter' is often introduced before the abbreviation on first mention in formal writing.
