Permenant life insurance is offered in three modes:
Whole Life
As the name implies the person can insure and continue paying premiums till the end of his life. These premiums will not differ and remain constant. The company invests them in various financial instruments. The insured will also get a share of profits from the company; though the fact remains that the company is not obliged to provide it at all times. It is not possible to convert this scheme into other policies.
Equity Advantage
In this type of insurance the company invests the sum paid by the insured (as premiums) in stocks. The individual gets a return based on the performance of the stock. In addition to getting regular income the insured is also assured of getting back the policy amount after the policy expires. In case of his death the dependents are eligible to enjoy the policy amount.
Guarantee Advantage
This insurance scheme helps the insured in enjoying a regular income. For reasons like security many Americans are insured in this scheme than any others. This scheme is based on the financial soundness of the insured. However the premiums are quiet affordable.
