Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL)
Indexed Universal Life insurance is a permanent life insurance policy that combines lifelong protection with the opportunity to accumulate cash value linked to a market index.
While the policy’s cash value may grow based on the performance of an index such as the S&P 500, it typically includes a guaranteed floor that protects against market losses.
Key Features of Indexed Universal Life Insurance
Indexed universal life policies provide several important features:
Permanent Life Insurance Protection
Coverage lasts for the lifetime of the insured as long as the policy remains properly funded.
Index-Linked Cash Value Growth
Cash value growth is tied to the performance of a market index, allowing the policy to participate in market gains.
Downside Protection
Most IUL policies include a minimum interest rate floor, protecting against negative market performance. The growth potential and structure of an IUL policy depend on policy design, funding levels, and the insurer’s terms.
The best way to understand how an IUL policy may fit into your financial strategy is to receive a personalized illustration.
