Overview
In whole
life insurance, both the death benefit and the premium are designed to stay the
same level throughout the life of the policy.
They keep
the premium level by charging a premium that, in the early years, is higher
than what's needed to pay claims, investing that money, and then using it to
supplement the level premium to help pay the cost of life insurance for older
people.
The primary advantages of whole life are:
Guaranteed death benefits
Guaranteed cash values
Fixed and known annual premiums
