Whole Life Insurance

Whole life insurance offers a combination of guaranteed¹ death benefit protection, guaranteed cash value accumulation, and guaranteed level premiums over a lifetime, as long as premiums are paid. Plus, generally available tax advantages that could provide an effective and powerful financial resource, such as an income tax-free death benefit to a beneficiary, tax deferred cash value growth, policy loans and withdrawals from cash value.²

Benefits of Whole Life Insurance

Guaranteed Fixed Level Premiums

Premiums are guaranteed not to increase even as you grow older or your health declines. The premium you pay today will be the same premium you pay in later years.

Guaranteed Lifetime Coverage

When you purchase a whole life policy, you are helping to ensure insurance protection for your entire life. As long as premiums are paid and policy loans do not exceed the total cash value, your coverage cannot be terminated, even if you become uninsurable later in life.³

Tax-Deferred Cash Value Accumulation

Your policy is designed to gradually build cash value each year on a tax deferred basis. During your lifetime, the cash value can be accessed via withdrawals and loans. Accessing your cash value will, however, reduce your death benefit, reduce the account value and may cause the policy to lapse.

Policy Dividends

Your policy, excluding Heritage 2022 and Protector 2022, may earn a dividend⁴ that can be used to purchase additional paid-up insurance, reduce out of pocket premium, accumulate in your policy or receive in cash.
