For example term life insurance has no cash value, it is designed solely for life protection, upon the maturity the buyer receives no refund, and all the premiums paid will not get back. Whole life insurance has cash value, but it has no maturity, it is a life-long investment.

Some people want to have protection and have saving at the mean time; endowment life insurance is the ideal policy, because the buyer can have not only protection, the maturity of the policy is short, and he also benefits the interest and the full amount premium refund upon maturity.
