Sentences with phrase «compounding against the value»

Not exact matches

Where else can you receive «true» compound growth, except in a policy where you never need to withdraw the funds, but where you simply borrow against your cash value?

Whole life offers (1) cash value is liquid, creating cash flow, (2) income tax advantages, (3) the ability to borrow against it as collateral through a life insurance policy loan and (4) the cash value grows exponentially due to true compound interest.

Notably, depleting the cash value with a withdrawal may mean the policy will still ultimately need another contribution (i.e., more premiums) to sustain in the long run; nonetheless, if the cash value is in a downward spiral towards lapse anyway, a withdrawal to repay the loan will help extend the life of the policy, given that the crediting rate of the cash value is always lower than the interest rate of the loan compounding against it (which for newer policies might be a 0.5 % to 1 % spread, but on older policies can be a 2 % spread or more).
