Understanding Whole Life Insurance Policies


Whole life insurance is the basic form of permanent life cover. Whole life insurance is so called because it provides the insured with permanent protection for the "whole of life.".Whole-Life provides you with protection, but it also builds cash value and does not have an expiration period or "term".

Whole life insurance is typically more expensive than term insurance because part of the premium you pay to the insurance company on a whole life policy is invested in stocks, long-term bonds, mortgages and other assets that can appreciate in value and generate income over time. Whole life insurance is also known as ordinary life, permanent life, or straight life insurance .
