Will taking a policy loan reduce my growth?
Policy loans can affect policy performance depending on how they are managed. However, properly structured policies are designed to provide access to capital while preserving many of the long-term benefits of compounding growth.
Can I access my cash value while it is still growing?
Yes. Policyholders may access cash value through policy loans, subject to policy terms and conditions. This can provide liquidity while allowing the underlying cash value to continue compounding.
How is guaranteed compounding different from investing in the stock market?
Market investments can rise or fall based on economic conditions. Guaranteed compounding is based on contractual guarantees from the insurance company and is not directly tied to stock market performance.
Is guaranteed growth the same as a guaranteed rate of return?
Not exactly. Guaranteed growth refers to the contractual increase in cash value outlined in the policy. The overall performance of the policy may also be influenced by dividends, which are not guaranteed.
Why do you say the cash value can never go backwards?
The guaranteed cash value portion of a properly structured participating whole life policy is not subject to stock market losses. While market-based investments can fluctuate in value, guaranteed cash value continues to grow according to the policy contract.
What does “guaranteed compounding” mean?
