Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is a permanent life insurance policy that does two things simultaneously: it protects your family with a tax-free death benefit, and it builds cash value that grows linked to a stock market index — without the risk of market losses.
Unlike traditional investments, your IUL cash value is protected by a 0% floor. When markets go up, you participate in the gain. When markets go down, you lose nothing. That's the power of IUL.
Your cash value grows based on the performance of market indices like the S&P 500. In strong years, you earn significant credits without directly investing in the market.
When the market falls, your IUL cash value is protected. The 0% floor ensures you never lose credited gains due to market downturns — ever.
Policy loans and withdrawals from an IUL are generally income-tax-free, making it a powerful supplement to taxable retirement accounts like 401(k)s.
Access your death benefit early if diagnosed with a critical, chronic, or terminal illness. IUL provides financial protection while you're still alive.
