Three ways life insurance could do more for you¹

Additional income in retirement
Make your life insurance work harder for you in retirement by using a cash value component to provide tax-advantaged income. Consider it alongside retirement portfolio assets like a 401(k), pension or Social Security. If you contribute enough to your policy through the years, you may be able to access its cash value potentially tax-free.¹
Potential savings growth opportunities
The cash value component of life insurance can be used to potentially grow your money in a tax-advantaged way. Some policies even include opportunities to earn annual dividends (though dividends are never guaranteed). One type of cash value life insurance (universal life) provides the potential for savings growth, while another type (variable universal life) offers the opportunity for market-driven growth.

Opportunities & emergencies
Protect your dreams and goals, no matter what. Prepare for opportunities and emergencies with an extra financial cushion. Cash value life insurance can provide extra funding. You can access those funds on a potentially tax-free basis.¹

¹ 1 You can access the cash value of a permanent life insurance contract during your life to pay for expenses, as long as you understand the consequences of doing so. For example, removing money from your contract can result in potential charges and income changes that affect your taxes. If you have a modified endowment contract, your actions may not be tax-free. Withdrawing money decreases the contract’s cash value and the value of your death benefit. And can result in cancellation of your life insurance coverage if you withdraw too much. If you remove money, it will take you longer to meet your contract goals. Always talk with your tax advisor and financial professional to learn about those implications up front.
