On the surface, whole life insurance offers long-term security, affordability, and flexibility features and structure. However, by understanding the premiums behind whole life insurance policies, you are provided with a much clearer view of how whole life insurance has continued to be such a popular life insurance plan.
A Quick Look at Whole Life Policies
At its core, whole life insurance guarantees lifetime protection to the policyholder that can never be removed, at a premium that never increases. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of higher premiums to offset the insurance company’s risk. Ultimately, you will have an excess in funds that begin to accumulate with time.
Many insurance companies offer whole life plans that participate in their profits. Essentially, whenever the life insurance company outperforms its assumptions with better returns, it divides part of the profit portions to policyholders. However, it is essential to note that dividends are not guaranteed, although the most stable companies are known to pay dividends faithfully.
The End Result
When a whole life insurance policy is appropriately managed, it can generate a cash value growth with enough time that ultimately foregoes the need to pay any premium payments. Essentially, the policyholder ends up with a life insurance policy that pays for itself with dividends while enjoying the continued lifetime protection it offers.
