WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE

1. Guaranteed Lifetime Protection with Cash Value Growth

Whole life insurance is the most traditional and straightforward form of permanent life insurance. It provides guaranteed lifetime coverage, fixed premiums, and a cash value component that grows at a guaranteed rate. As long as you pay your premiums, your coverage will never expire.

Whole life insurance is ideal for individuals who want predictable, lifelong protection and the peace of mind that comes with guaranteed benefits.

2. Key Features of Whole Life Insurance

  • Lifetime Coverage: Protection for your entire life, as long as premiums are paid
  • Fixed Premiums: Your premium amount never increases
  • Guaranteed Cash Value: Grows at a guaranteed rate set by the insurance company
  • Tax-Deferred Growth: Cash value accumulates without being taxed
  • Dividends: Many policies pay annual dividends (for participating policies)
  • Loan Options: Borrow against your cash value at competitive rates

3. How Whole Life Insurance Works

When you purchase a whole life policy, a portion of your premium goes toward the death benefit, and a portion is allocated to the cash value account. Over time, the cash value grows at a guaranteed rate and can be accessed through loans or withdrawals.

Upon your death, your beneficiaries receive the full death benefit, tax-free. The cash value is typically absorbed by the insurance company unless you have riders that add it to the death benefit.
