You will also build cash value that is a return on a portion of your premiums which the insurance company invests from each premium payment. The traditional whole life insurance policy gives you a guaranteed minimum rate of return on your cash accumulation portion. This cash value can be borrowed against or can be used in the future to purchase a fully paid-up policy.
some of the important features of whole life is the premiums are level for the life of the policy. It is payable for life and as long as it is paid it stays in force. There are some options such as a single pay, 10 or 20 year pay or pay to age 65 where at that point the policy is paid in full. There is a guaranteed cash value that the policy accumulates over time that can be borrowed against. The cash value's growth is tax defered under certain federal tax laws.
