An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance policy combines a death benefit with a savings component that earns interest based on the performance of a specific stock market index (e.g., S&P 500). Here are some benefits:
Flexibility: Adjust premium payments, death benefit, and investment options as needed
Tax-deferred growth: Earn interest on your savings component without paying taxes until you withdraw
Potential for higher returns: Earn interest based on market performance, potentially higher than traditional universal life policies
Protection: Maintain a death benefit to protect your loved ones
Cash value accumulation: Build cash value over time, which can be borrowed against or used to pay premiums
However, keep in mind:
Risk: Returns are tied to market performance, so there's a risk of losses if the market declines
Complexity: IUL policies can be complex, so it's essential to understand the terms and conditions
Fees: May include fees for premium payments, administrative costs, and surrender charges
Consult with a licensed insurance professional to determine if an IUL policy aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
