Whole Life
What is Whole Life?
Whole Life is permanent life insurance that gives you coverage for the duration of your life at a fixed monthly premium. You can choose to pay premiums until the age of 65, 75 or 100 in exchange for life-time coverage. It protects your loved ones from financial burdens in the event of your untimely passing by providing a tax-free lump sum to help pay for mortgages, tuition, funeral bills, or everyday living expenses.
Whole Life insurance also has a guaranteed rate of return. This means there is a separate savings component, or a cash value, that is guaranteed to earn a minimum amount of interest.
This cash value can be accessed while you’re still alive if you surrender your policy after three years.
