Using cash value
You can tap into your policy’s cash value by making a withdrawal or taking a loan against your policy.
It is important to understand that policy loans and withdrawals may create an adverse tax result in the event of lapse or policy surrender and will reduce your policy surrender value and death benefit. You may be required to repay the loan or make additional premium payments in order to keep your policy in force.2
Protection and growth: Fixed or flexible?
The type of permanent life insurance you choose should partially be based on how much flexibility you want. A financial professional can help you choose the type of product that works for you - fixed or flexible.
