Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
— protect your family while building wealth.
What is Indexed Universal Life (IUL)?
Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that offers both a death benefit and a cash value component linked to the performance of a market index, such as the S&P 500. Unlike direct market investments, IUL policies include a floor that protects your cash value from market downturns while allowing you to benefit from market gains up to a cap. This makes IUL an ideal tool for wealth building, tax-advantaged retirement income, and legacy planning.

- Cash value grows based on market index performance
- Downside protection with a guaranteed floor (typically 0%)
- Tax-deferred cash value growth
- Flexible premiums and death benefit amounts
- Tax-free policy loans for retirement income

Index Universal Life Insurance
Index Universal Life Insurance (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance that combines a death benefit with a cash value component that grows based on the performance of a stock market index, like the S&P 500.
How It Works:
- Death Benefit: Your beneficiaries receive a tax-free payout when you pass away—just like with traditional life insurance.
- Cash Value Growth:Â A portion of your premium goes into a cash value account, which earns interest based on the performance of a market index.
- If the index goes up, your cash value grows (up to a cap).
- If the market goes down, your cash value is protected by a “floor” (usually 0%), so you don’t lose money—just won’t earn during that period.
- Flexible Premiums & Benefits:Â You can adjust your premiums and death benefit over time, depending on your financial situation.
Â
Key Features:
- Tax-deferred cash value growth
- Market-linked gains with downside protection
- Policy loans or withdrawals from the cash value
- Permanent coverage (as long as premiums are paid)
- Can be used for retirement income, college planning, or emergencies
Important Considerations:
- Growth is capped (you may not get full market returns)
- Policy fees and costs can be higher than term insurance
- Must be managed carefully to avoid lapses or tax consequences
Who It’s Good For:
- People looking for lifelong coverage
- Those who want to build wealth with less risk than direct investing
- Individuals with long-term financial planning goals
