An IUL (Indexed Universal Life) is a permanent life policy whose cash value is tied to a market index. It offers growth potential with downside protection, a tool that combines protection and retirement planning.
A 33-year-old transport worker and father of 2 chose an IUL to protect his family while building a retirement fund. His goal: immediate protection for his wife and kids, and cash value accumulation to supplement his retirement income.
A Whole Life policy has guaranteed growth and a fixed premium. IUL offers greater growth potential tied to an index, with more flexible premiums. Both are permanent and build cash value.
IUL cash value can be used as supplemental retirement income through policy loans. It doesn't replace a traditional retirement plan, but can be a valuable complement as part of a diversified strategy.
