Understanding IUL (Indexed Universal Life Insurance)
Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that offers a death benefit along with a cash value component that can grow over time. It combines the benefits of universal life insurance with the potential for higher returns based on the performance of a stock market index, like the S&P 500. IUL insurance is designed to provide flexibility, allowing policyholders to adjust their premiums and death benefits, while also offering the potential for significant cash value accumulation.
