What it is

Whole Life Insurance

Whole Life is permanent insurance with level premiums, a guaranteed death benefit, and a guaranteed cash value that grows tax-deferred. Cash value can be borrowed against during your lifetime.

It is a foundation piece of long-term planning — coverage that will never lapse if premiums are paid, plus an asset on the balance sheet that grows predictably.

When this coverage pays off.

Lifetime coverage

A policy bought at 35 that will still be in force at 95, with the death benefit guaranteed.

Tax-favored access to cash value via policy loans for opportunities or emergencies.

Legacy planning

A guaranteed tax-free transfer of wealth to heirs or charities.

Common questions

Plain-language answers.

Whole life or term?

Term for temporary needs at low cost; whole life for permanent needs and long-term cash value. Often a blend is best.

How much does the cash value grow?

Slowly at first, then steadily — guaranteed by the carrier, often supplemented by dividends from participating insurers.

Can I borrow without paying back?

Loans don’t require fixed repayment, but unpaid balances reduce the death benefit.
