What is the difference in participating life policies and non participating life policies?
Participating policies are life insurance policies that pay dividends, where dividends enable you (the policyholders) to participate in the insurance company's favorable experiences (such as higher than expected investment returns or lower than expected operation.) Non-participating policies, historically belong to the stock companies where the company's favorable expenses were paid to the stock holders, rather than the people who own policies within the insurance company. Even though the participating policies were mostly offered by the the mutual insurance companies, due to consumer appeals to receive dividends, stock companies also started offering participating policies. You should keep in mind that the dividends are not guaranteed and it is illegal for insurance agents to make future projections (where the participating policies also tend to have little higher premiums.)
Consider Shopping With Independent Insurance Agents?
Independent insurance agents earn their living by matching insurance customers with the insurance they need. Unlike some insurance companies that employ agents to sell their brand of insurance, independent agents are not bound to a single company. This means that they can get competing quotes from multiple companies to help their customers find the best policies and premiums. Independent agents also have more flexibility to sell different types of insurance that can help customers with special needs. Some insurance companies do not allow independent agents to sell their insurance, so insurance shoppers should also check for quotes from other insurers before completing an insurance agreement.
