Life Insurance Basics

Why is the premium on a participating policy commonly higher than on a comparable nonparticipating policy?

Answer and explanation
Answer: A. The participating premium is deliberately loaded so that the insurer can meet adverse experience, and what proves unnecessary comes back as a dividend. The guarantees, charges and underwriting are not what differ.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, participating and nonparticipating
