Discuss Final Expense OptionsIndex universal life (IUL) insurance can be a great way to protect your loved ones with a death benefit and the potential of cash value accumulation. But there's a lot of misinformation about IULs on the internet, and even from those within the industry. Let us help you sort fact from fiction.
An IUL policy provides permanent life insurance protection and is guaranteed to remain in force as long as the premiums are paid. But for consumers looking for additional benefits, an IUL policy also offers:
Growth potential through index-linked strategies
The opportunity for tax-free supplemental income¹
Flexible premium payments²
"Money collected to fund an IUL policy is held by the insurance company and never enters the market."
While it is true that the money in the policy never enters the market as far as purchasing a security, the cash value is exposed to growth that is linked to the index used in a given index strategy. If the growth in the underlying index is positive, the policy's cash value is credited any growth up to the stated cap rate and/or participation rate. IUL products provide protection against market loss by offering a floor rate of 0% or greater.
"Growth potential is always capped with IULs so policy owners never experience any meaningful growth."
The floor on IUL policies is designed to provide protection from market losses that may occur in the underlying index (such as in 2008 when the S&P 500® declined by 37%). In exchange for this valuable protection, most IULs may place a limit on upside growth, currently ranging from 8% to 14% — still considered solid growth in most years.
"High policy fees take a big chunk of any accrued cash value."
All types of life insurance policies have charges that are either built into the annual premium or are deducted from the policy's cash value. These charges pay for the death benefit protection as well as ongoing expenses. For permanent life insurance policies with cash value, the cash value generally grows on a tax-deferred basis that may be accessed tax-free through policy withdrawals and loans. These favorable tax features make IUL policies attractive to consumers.
"It takes many years before any cash value will accumulate."
The net premium on IUL policies is allocated to the policy owner's choice of available index accounts. This generates immediate policy value regardless of index performance. IULs and other permanent life insurance policies typically have a surrender charge for a limited time in the early policy years. Life insurance is designed to provide long-term death benefit protection and cash value accumulation.
Protection from market downturns with a floor rate, while still participating in market gains up to a cap.
Tax-deferred growth and tax-free access to cash value through loans and withdrawals, plus tax-free death benefits.
Policy loans don't have to be paid back during the insured's lifetime, and may offer zero net cost or positive spread options.
Your dedicated Financial Strategist can help you understand if an Index Universal Life policy is right for your situation and goals.
Discuss IUL Options¹ When cash value is sufficient, tax-free loans and withdrawals are available as long as policy is not and does not become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC).
² Premium payments must exceed monthly charges and fees for cash value to grow.
³ Loans, withdrawals, and death benefit accelerations will reduce the policy value and the death benefit and may increase lapse risk. Policy loans are tax-free provided the policy remains in force.
⁵ An IUL is not a short-term savings vehicle nor is it ideal for short-term insurance needs. An IUL is designed to be long term in nature and should only be purchased if a client has the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.
