Whole Life Insurance


Portfolio II and Whole Life II are "traditional" whole life policies that can provide insurance for your whole life as opposed to a defined number of years with a term life insurance policy.

These products are issued by Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America, which is not licensed in New York.

Product Features:
  • Cash value accumulates on a tax-deferred basis
  • You can purchase a policy with a minimum face amount of $25,000
  • Policy loans and withdrawals may be received free of federal income tax.*
  • The entire death benefit, including dividend accumulations and paid-up additions, can pass federal income tax-free to your beneficiary(ies)

    Riders Available (may require additional cost):
    • Paid-up Additions
    • Disability Waiver of Premium
    • Accidental Death Benefit
    • Guaranteed Purchase Option
    • Insurance Exchange Agreement
    • Children's Term
    • Accelerated Death Benefit**
    * Tax-free access to cash surrender value is possible through surrender of paid-up additions up to the cost basis of the life insurance policy and loans thereafter, based on current tax laws and assuming the individual policy remains in force and is not a "modified endowment contract" under IRC Section 7702A. Keep in mind that some of these tax advantages do not apply to Modified Endowment Contracts (MECs). A MEC policy is created when payments have violated the IRS premium limitations. Therefore, any distributions from a MEC policy will be income taxable and may be subject to the 10% penalty for distributions before age 591/2 . Policy loans and surrenders of paid-up additions will reduce a policy's death benefit and net cash surrender value.

    ** These riders do not require an additional cost.
