Guaranteed growth (whole life) or index-linked potential (IUL)? We'll show you real illustrations of both so the tradeoffs are clear.
Unlike term, permanent coverage doesn't expire at the end of a term — and premiums can be structured to stay level for life.
Cash value life insurance combines a permanent death benefit with a savings component that grows inside the policy. Part of each premium builds cash value you can access during your lifetime through policy loans or withdrawals — for opportunities, emergencies, or retirement income.
The two most popular types take different paths: whole life offers guaranteed premiums, guaranteed cash value growth, and potential dividends from mutual insurers; indexed universal life (IUL) links growth to a market index with a 0% floor, trading guarantees for higher potential. Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your goals, time horizon, and comfort with variability.
Comparing real illustrations side by side is the only way to see the tradeoffs clearly. Request your free comparison above and a licensed agent will show you both — including the costs.

Per dollar of death benefit, yes — you're paying for lifetime coverage plus the cash value. Many families use a mix of both.
