How indexed universal life insurance works
Indexed universal life (IUL) insurance is designed to provide a tax-free death benefit for your loved ones after you’re gone and help you create a lasting legacy. It also offers the opportunity for tax-advantaged growth through multiple indexed interest strategies and a fixed account. Your money does not directly participate in the market and a guaranteed minimum floor rate ensures your crediting rate will never be negative, even during market declines.
Flexible options give you access to your policy’s cash value to use for unexpected emergencies, life events and as a source of supplemental retirement income.
Please keep in mind:
All guarantees and benefits of the insurance policy are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
1 Guarantees and protections are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. Past index performance is no indication of future crediting rates. Also, be aware that interest crediting fluctuations can lead to the need for additional premiums to be paid into your policy.
