# Whole Life Insurance

Permanent coverage that never expires, with cash value that grows.

## What it is, in plain English

Whole life is permanent - as long as you pay the premiums, the coverage never runs out. It also builds cash value over time on a tax-deferred basis, which you can borrow against or access during your lifetime. It costs more than term, because it's built to last your whole life.

## Guaranteed cash value, year by year

A whole life policy grows guaranteed cash value you can borrow against. Illustrative accumulation on a $100,000 policy issued at age 40.

Illustrative guaranteed values only - actual schedules vary by carrier, age, and health class. Dividends may add more.

## Whole Life Insurance tends to fit people who…

- Have a need that will never go away

- Want fixed premiums that never rise

- Are doing estate or legacy planning

- Want coverage plus a conservative cash-value build

#### Lifetime coverage

Never expires as long as premiums are paid.

#### Cash value

Grows tax-deferred; borrow against it or use it later.

#### Fixed premiums

Your payment is locked for life - predictable forever.

## Strengths and trade-offs

### Why people choose it

- Coverage guaranteed for life - it cannot expire on you

- Cash value grows tax-deferred on a guaranteed schedule

- Fixed premiums that never increase

- Participating policies may pay dividends

### Worth considering

- Significantly higher premiums than term for the same death benefit

- Surrendering early can cost more than you have paid in

## Is whole life the right fit?
