The word "participating" suggests that the owner of the policy would get a dividend on the policy if the company earns one.

Whole life insurance, as the name implies, is insurance which provides coverage for the policyholder's entire lifetime. Whole life policies can be divided into two categories: participating and non-participating. Both policies provide level premiums, lifetime protection and a guaranteed cash value-but participating whole life plans pay an annual dividend. The annual dividend is NOT guaranteed, and in most instances is linked to long-term interest rates as well as the insurance company's performance. If you have an existing participating whole life policy which was purchased in a high interest environment, it is a good idea to request an updated policy illustration-the projected values may have changed dramatically. Most participating whole life policies have multiple dividend options.

A participating life insurance policy is one that pays a dividend to the owner. Mutual life insurance companies offer participating life insurance policies as the policyholders share in the profits of the insurance company since the policy owners are the owners of the company.
Typically,the person who purchased it owns it. That person may be different from the person insured or the beneficiary. The owner can usually make decisions concerning the policy. An example with respect to a policy issued by a stock company, whether to have the company send a dividend check or to use the dividend to purchase additional insurance.
