Term vs. Whole Life.
The Analysis You've Been Avoiding.

Most advisors benefit from selling whole life. We don't. This table reflects actuarial reality, not commission structure.

Underwrite Recommendation for 90% of Clients

20-year term, $500K–$1.5M face value, purchased before age 35. Invest the premium difference in a low-cost index fund. Reassess at age 45 or when net worth exceeds $2M.
