How Does Whole Life Insurance Work?
- Safety: Your Cash Value is safe from market fluctuation. The Net growth rate on cash value will likely range between 3-5%, regardless of what happens in the market (based on historical performance).
- Individuals will often use Cash Value Life Insurance as an alternative to the money they would position in fixed assets or cash. “This is money I know I can count on always increasing and always being accessible.”
- Liquidity: Your Cash Value can be accessed anytime. Both individuals and corporations are attracted to the loan feature of a whole life insurance policy once it is understood.
- Your cash value will continue to compound when loans are taken. Example below.
- You have Cash Value of $100,000 earning 4%. (You earn $4,000 in dividends & interest)
- You decide to take a loan for $50,000 at an interest rate of 5% (You pay $2,500 in loan interest)
- Your Cash Value will continue to receive 4% on the full $100,000! (Constant compounding)
- Tax-Free: Your Cash Value can be accessed Tax-Free anytime. However, it is important to be aware that taxes can occur. The most common tax situation is if a policy becomes a MEC. Learn how taxes can occur and how to prevent them.
