Which one of the following policies has a guaranteed cash surrender value a. Endowment at age 65 b. 20 yrs level premium term insurance c. variable whole life d. traditional universal life insurance?

All of the policies mentioned would have cash value with the exception of the 20 year level term. Although it might be some time before the cash value started to build up (likely years), and the variable and universal life would not have "guaranteed" cash value. The variable cash value is based on how your investment choices did, and the universal life could lose all of its cash value if you went a long time without paying on it. Short answer A. Here is the correct answer: Option A, C and D will both have guaranteed cash surrender values. Variables are securities and as such there are risks. In addition it can only be sold and counciled on by a registerd Rep. The 20 year term does not have any cash value unless the policy has a money back rider then it will. Now there are life settlement companies that given certain criteria may offer a better alternative selling the policy over cashing it in.
