Index Universal
Life Insurance (IUL)

A Flexible Solution for Protection and Growth

IUL is a unique form of permanent life insurance that combines lifelong coverage with the potential for cash value growth tied to the performance of market indexes, like the S&P 500. It’s designed for those seeking a balance between financial protection and long-term wealth accumulation.

Key Features of IUL

 

Lifetime Coverage: Provides a death benefit for your loved ones, ensuring financial security no matter when it’s needed.

Cash Value Growth: The policy’s cash value grows based on the performance of a chosen market index, with a cap and a floor to protect against losses.

Tax Advantages: Growth within the policy is tax-deferred, and withdrawals or loans against the cash value may be tax-free if structured correctly.

Flexible Premiums: Adjust your payments to suit your financial situation, subject to certain policy guidelines.

Benefits of Index Universal Life Insurance

1. Protection for Loved Ones
Guarantees a death benefit, providing financial stability and peace of mind to your beneficiaries.

2. Market-Linked Growth Potential
Offers cash value growth tied to market performance, giving you the opportunity to build wealth over time.

3. Downside Protection
Unlike direct investments, IUL policies typically include a floor (often 0%), meaning your cash value won’t decrease due to negative market performance

4. Tax Efficiency

  • Tax-deferred Growth: Cash value accumulates without immediate tax obligations.

  • Tax-free Access: Properly managed withdrawals or loans from the policy’s cash value can be tax-free.

5. Flexible Financial Tool

  • Supplemental Retirement Income: Use cash value as an additional income stream during retirement.

  • Emergency Fund Access: Borrow against the cash value when needed, often with favourable terms.
