FAQ
An IUL policy provides flexible premium payments and adjustable death benefits. Part of your premium goes into the policy’s cash value account, which earns interest based on the performance of a specified stock market index. The policy has a cap (maximum return) and a floor (minimum return), ensuring you benefit from positive index performance while avoiding losses during market downturns.
An IUL can be a good investment for those seeking a combination of life insurance protection and potential cash value growth. It offers flexible premiums and the opportunity to earn interest based on market performance, with the added security of not losing money in a declining market.
Your IUL policy can be customized through various options, including adjusting premium payments, modifying the death benefit amount, choosing different index options for cash value growth, and adding riders for additional coverage. This flexibility allows you to tailor the policy to fit your changing financial needs and goals.
Yes, you can withdraw money from your IUL policy's cash value. Withdrawals are typically tax-free up to the amount of premiums paid into the policy. However, withdrawals may reduce the cash value and death benefit, and there may be fees or restrictions depending on the policy terms.
You can use the cash value from your IUL to fund a down payment or purchase a house. This can be done through withdrawals or loans against the cash value. However, taking money out may reduce the cash value and death benefit of the policy.
To loan against your IUL, contact your insurance provider to request a policy loan. The loan amount is based on the available cash value of your policy. Interest is charged on the loan, and unpaid loans can reduce the death benefit and cash value.
