Whole Life Insurance

Permanent protection with guaranteed cash value

Whole life insurance covers you for your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid. It combines a guaranteed death benefit with a cash value component that grows over time on a tax-advantaged basis. Whole life premiums are higher than term, but the policy never expires and builds equity you can borrow against or withdraw.

Key features

  • Coverage for your entire lifetime
  • Guaranteed cash value that grows tax-deferred
  • Level premiums that never increase
  • Potential to earn policy dividends (participating policies)
  • Can be used as collateral for loans

Ideal for

  • Estate planning and wealth transfer
  • Covering final expenses and taxes
  • Supplementing retirement income
  • Leaving a guaranteed inheritance
