The essentials
What to understand before comparing.
A quote is more useful when you understand which details can change coverage, access and cost.
Cash value
Part of the policy may accumulate value. Growth, guarantees, rates, limits and access depend on the contract.
Whole or universal life
Whole life generally emphasizes scheduled premiums and guarantees; universal life may offer more flexibility but requires monitoring.
Loans and withdrawals
Using cash value can reduce benefits, create interest or affect the policy. Tax consequences may also apply.

Clear answers to help you begin.
Rules, benefits, costs and availability can vary. We will review your situation before discussing a specific plan.
How much does permanent coverage cost?
It usually has a higher initial premium than term coverage for the same benefit. Cost depends on age, health, design, guarantees, amount and policy type.
Does coverage last for life?
It can if the policy remains adequately funded and its conditions are met. Some universal policies can lapse if values and premiums do not cover charges.
Is cash value guaranteed?
It depends on the contract. Some values may be guaranteed while others are illustrated or depend on rates, indexes or performance.
Can I borrow or withdraw money?
Many policies allow access, but loans and withdrawals can reduce values and benefits, create interest or cause taxes if the policy ends with debt.
Are whole life and universal life the same?
No. They use different premium, guarantee, charge and cash-value structures. Universal life flexibility also requires periodic review.
