Overview

Indexed Universal Life Insurance is a type of life insurance that offers traditional insurance protection for  your loved ones while also building wealth. What sets IUL apart from  traditional Universal Life Insurance or conventional life insurance is that the cash value of your insurance premiums can be invested in various stock market indexes. This feature provides the potential for greater returns compared to traditional savings accounts, typically ranging from (8% to 12% per year). 

This means that if the indexes perform favorably, your cash value can grow even faster. 

Moreover, this type of insurance gives you flexibility in terms of allowing you to modifying your premium payments and death benefit as your needs change over time.This flexibility makes it a popular choice for individuals looking for long-term financial security that realize that their needs might change in the future. If your index goes down, your policy can be structured in a way that the cash value can be shielded from significant decrease. 

Bottom Line: Faster tax-free growth of the wealth accumulated within your life insurance policy with options to minimize risk.

Benefits of an IUL Policy

IUL’s have become popular in the past few years due to their unique benefits over more traditional life insurance. For individuals looking to maximize their investment in life insurance, this can be a wise choice. 

Get Higher Returns

IUL policies offer the potential for higher returns by utilizing call options to access the benefits of equity indexes. In comparison, whole life insurance policies and fixed universal life insurance policies often provide a minimal interest rate that may not be guaranteed. The actual annual return on an IUL policy is dependent on the performance of its underlying index; however, the insurance company typically offers a guaranteed minimum return on the investment.

Customize Your Investment Goals

With IUL insurance, policyholders have the ability to personalize their policy according to their unique investment goals. They have the freedom to determine their risk tolerance in the market, modify the death benefit as required, and choose from a range of riders to customize the policy to suit their individual needs.

Safeguard Your Retirement Funds

While Social Security benefits serve as an important retirement income source, claiming them early or working while receiving may result in a reduction of the benefit amount. However, with an IUL policy, accumulation of cash value and loans obtained from the policy do not factor into the earnings thresholds. This unique feature enables policyholders to supplement Social Security benefits without reducing the benefit amount they receive.

Enjoy Tax-Free Capital Gains

Indexed universal life insurance policyholders can potentially eliminate the obligation to pay capital gains tax on the growth of their cash value unless they surrender the policy before maturity. This advantageous benefit extends to loans taken against the policy's cash value as well, offering a convenient source of funds without incurring taxes and penalties associated with early withdrawals from other financial accounts, such as a 401(k) or IRA.

Protect Your Loved Ones with Tax-Free Death Benefit

IUL insurance, like other life insurance policies, provides a death benefit for your loved ones. The death benefit can be utilized to cover various expenses, including funeral costs, outstanding debts, college expenses, or daily living expenses. Notably, this benefit can be passed on to beneficiaries without being subject to taxes.
