COVERAGE OPTIONS
Find the Right Type of Life Insurance for Your Needs
Life insurance policies differ in how long they provide coverage, how premiums work, and whether they build cash value.
Understanding these differences can help you decide which options are worth exploring.
Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specified period, subject to the policy remaining in force.
It is often considered by people who want financial protection during particular stages of life, such as raising children or paying off a mortgage.
Coverage is designed around a specified term.
Premiums may remain level during an initial guaranteed period.
Coverage generally does not accumulate cash value.
Renewal or conversion options depend on the policy.
Premiums may increase after the initial level-premium period if coverage is continued.
Term life insurance may be appropriate when a customer wants coverage for a particular financial responsibility or timeframe.
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance designed to provide lifetime coverage as long as the policy’s required conditions are met.
It generally includes a cash-value component.
Designed to provide lifetime coverage.
Premiums are generally guaranteed level under the policy.
Includes a guaranteed death benefit, subject to the policy remaining in force.
Builds cash value according to contractual provisions.
Policy loans or withdrawals may be available, subject to applicable terms.
Whole life insurance may be worth considering for customers who want long-term coverage and predictable premiums.
Policy loans accrue interest. Loans and withdrawals can reduce cash value and death benefits; in some circumstances they may cause lapse or tax consequences.
Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL)
Indexed Universal Life is a type of permanent life insurance that provides flexible premium options and cash-value growth potential linked to the performance of specified market indices.
Unlike directly investing in the stock market, indexed crediting follows formulas and limitations established in the insurance contract.
Designed as permanent life insurance, subject to adequate funding.
Premium amounts and timing may offer flexibility within policy limits.
Cash-value interest crediting may be linked to selected market indices.
Crediting terms can include caps, participation rates, floors, and other contractual limitations.
Policy charges continue and may affect accumulated cash value.
Insufficient funding or cash value may cause coverage to lapse.
An index-crediting floor does not prevent total cash value from decreasing when policy charges, loans, or withdrawals are applied. Indexed crediting does not guarantee a particular return.

FINANCIAL PROTECTION
Helping Protect What Matters Most
The right life insurance coverage can help your beneficiaries manage certain financial responsibilities after your death.
Replace Lost Income
Life insurance proceeds may help surviving family members cover household expenses and other financial needs.
Help With Housing Costs
A death benefit may help beneficiaries manage mortgage payments, rent, or other housing-related expenses.
Support Children’s Future Needs
Coverage may provide funds that beneficiaries can use toward education, childcare, and other expenses.
Help With Final Expenses
Life insurance proceeds may assist beneficiaries with funeral expenses, outstanding obligations, and other immediate financial needs.
Beneficiaries generally decide how to use proceeds from a policy that pays an unrestricted death benefit. A policy does not automatically pay each of these expenses.
CHOOSING COVERAGE
How Much Life Insurance Should You Consider?
There is no single amount of life insurance that is right for everyone.
Your needs depend on your family, finances, future responsibilities, and the resources already available to the people who depend on you.
Income and Financial Dependents
Consider how much financial support your household may need if your income were no longer available.
Debts and Housing Obligations
Review mortgages, loans, and other liabilities that could create financial pressure for your family.
Children and Education
Consider childcare expenses, education goals, and the years during which your children may depend on financial support.
Existing Savings and Benefits
Account for existing life insurance, employer-provided coverage, savings, and other available resources.
Budget and Coverage Duration
Choose an amount and type of coverage with premiums you can reasonably maintain.
Our team can help you review these considerations and explore available coverage amounts and policy options.

Growing families may want to review coverage amounts and beneficiary designations.
