Question 1

What is Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance?

Accepted Answer

Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance that builds cash value linked to stock market index performance, with a 0% floor that protects your cash value from market losses. Premiums are flexible, and cash value can often be accessed tax-free through policy loans, making it a popular tool for tax-free retirement income.

Question 2

How is IUL different from whole life insurance?

Accepted Answer

Whole life insurance offers fixed, guaranteed cash value growth and level premiums. IUL offers the potential for higher cash value growth tied to market indices while still providing downside protection with a 0% floor. IUL also typically allows more flexible premium payments. The right choice depends on your goals, budget, and risk tolerance.
