Whole life insurance

Provides the security of coverage throughout your lifetime and a death benefit for your heirs.

Protect what matters

A whole life insurance policy stays in place for your entire life and provides a set level of security for your loved ones. If needed, you can borrow against the policy's cash value as it accumulates over time.

Key benefits of whole life insurance

Your essential insurance toolkit

Fund your long-term goals, benefit from estate planning and supplemental income strategies.

Transfer wealth to loved ones

You can choose to pay for a life insurance policy with a single premium, which can be an efficient method of transferring your assets to your family or charitable organizations.

Asset protection

Whole life insurance is often exempt from creditors, safeguarding a portion of your wealth from potential legal claims or financial liabilities.

Tax-advantaged benefits

The policy’s cash value grows over time and death benefits are typically tax-free, so you can pass on your wealth to future generations.

Why get whole life insurance?

  • Protect your assets
    Whole life insurance is often exempt from creditors so you can safeguard a portion of your wealth from potential legal claims or financial liabilities.
