Participating life insurance

It’s permanent participating life insurance. It gives you lifetime coverage, guaranteed cash value and the opportunity to receive dividends.

Balanced Achiever may fit if you want the flexibility of early cash value and potential long-term growth in one policy. It may also allow you to use dividends to pay your premiums. It can help if you’re planning for your family, business, retirement or estate and want flexibility as your needs change.

It’s value that is guaranteed to grow over time in your policy as long as you pay your premiums.

You can access a portion of it during your lifetime. If markets fall, that cash value is protected. It can’t be reduced or used unless you authorize it, or you’ve agreed to it in your policy. 

If you withdraw dividends or take out a policy loan and don’t pay it back, it reduces how much your loved ones or an organization receives when you die. Any money you borrow or dividends you withdraw may be taxable.
