It's crucial to note that Participating Whole Life policies now have new features that weren't available to them. The following is a list of changes to these policies:

• Tax-advantaged means that the growth of your investment is tax-deferred or even tax-free;
• Liquidity: You have multiple ways to access your investment, some of which are tax-free;

• This investment may be shielded from creditors' or litigants' claims;
• Your annual investment amount may be made on your behalf if you become handicapped, and you'd never have to pay it back.
