To begin with, you need to understand that life insurance falls into two very broad categories: Whole and term. The basic difference between term and whole life insurance is this: A term policy is life coverage only. In whole life insurance policy, as long as one continues to pay the premiums, the policy does not expire for a lifetime. As the term applies, whole life insurance provides coverage for the whole life or until the person reaches the age of 100.Whole life insurance policies build up a cash value (usually beginning after the first year). With whole life, you pay a fixed premium for life instead of the increasing premiums found on renewable term life insurance policies. In addition, whole life insurance has a cash value feature that is guaranteed. In term and whole-life, the full premium must be paid to keep the insurance.With level premiums and the accumulation of cash values, whole life insurance is a good choice for long-range goals. Besides permanent lifetime insurance protection, Whole Life Insurance features a savings element that allows you to build cash value on a tax-deferred basis. The policyholder can cancel or surrender the whole life insurance policy at any...more

Do you understand variable life? It may be easier to understand if we can contrast it to whole life insurance.It is a permanent policy, and it can grow a cash value. But it is also different than traditional whole life.A whole life policy does have a cash value that can grow over time. It usually grows by a pre-set interest rate or some market index. Beyond that, the policy has little control over how the cash portion of their policy is invested.Variable life is different. The cash portion can be invested in one or more financial funds. These may be equity, mutual, or money market funds. The policy owner can allocate these cash funds in any way they want. They can also change how it is allocated. This gives the owner more ocntrol and flexibility over the way the money is managed.Growth in the cash account can also increase the death benefit. This may mean that the policy owner does not have to make premium payments, or that he or she can make lower premium payments. So this may be an advantage.Of course, the funds could also decline. This means that the cash account could lose value. It also means the death benefit could go down and premiums could get more expensive.A policy may...more
