Whole life insurance is more than protection — it’s a tool for long-term financial stability. In Ontario, it allows your premiums to grow as cash value at a guaranteed rate, often supplemented with dividends from participating policies. Over time, this creates a private, tax-deferred asset you can access or borrow against, offering financial flexibility while continuing to grow.
