Does A Whole Life Insurance Policy Have A Cash Value?
4249 POINTSview profileGary LanePresident, Lane Independent Agency, Southern CaliforniaAbsolutely. Wait a year or two and it will accumulate value. That is a major reason folks go with whole life. Another variation is a permanent equity indexed universal life policy. They accumulate value, usually at a much higher rate, and with the right one, they never go down, since they have a guarantee of zero loss each year. Only a few firms offer these. You should talk with your agent. Thank you. GARY LANE.Answered on November 30, 2014flag this answer

However, depending on how your life insurance agent set up your premiums it can take a few years. Usually the first 5 to 7 years are paying for the cost of insurance and the cash will accumulate very slowly in early years. There is a page in your whole life policy called the illustrations page. This is a chart of cash value from year to year of the cash value accumulation.Answered on December 1, 2014flag this answer

McNeil Insurance Services, Fresno, CaliforniaBecause a whole life policy is designed to last a lifetime at a level premium it develops a reserve or cash value. In the early years of the policy the premium will be higher than a similar term policy; however, in later years it will be lower. That cash value can be used to provide collateral for a “policy loan.” It is the surrender value of the policy.Answered on February 4, 2015flag this answer
