Invest Your Policy’s Cash Value in Trusted Index Funds

If you’re looking for a permanent life insurance policy with a higher rate of return on cash value investment than traditional whole life insurance, indexed universal life insurance might be the right plan for you and your family. Indexed universal life insurance provides the same lifelong protection and death benefits as other permanent life insurance policies with the added benefit of building long-term wealth in a tax-sheltered savings account that invests in reliable index funds.

Indexed universal life insurance might be right for you if:

  • You are a young family looking for permanent coverage and want to invest early
  • You prefer flexible premiums and death benefits
  • You would like tax-free access to cash
  • You want a minimum guaranteed return on your investment
  • You’re looking for a tax-sheltered account outside your retirement accounts

How does an indexed universal life insurance policy work?

Just like with whole life insurance policies, a portion of each premium payment goes into your policy’s cash value. Instead of earning a low fixed interest on these funds, your cash value is invested in trusted index funds, such as those in the S&P 500 stock market. While indexed universal life policies allow for a greater upside potential of return and a minimum guaranteed return that’s higher than whole life policies, most insurers also implement an investment return cap – meaning any investment earnings over that cap go to the insurer, not you.

Perks of Indexed Universal Life Insurance

Minimum Guaranteed Returns

A set investment return floor eliminates the risk of significant portfolio losses.

Indexed Universal Life Insurance FAQs

When can I withdraw funds or borrow against my indexed universal life policy’s cash value? Expand

Unlike with other types of savings accounts – think IRAs and 401ks – there is no minimum age for accessing the cash in your account. This is one reason why purchasing an indexed universal life policy at a younger age is so beneficial; in addition to earning more on your investments over time, you can borrow against your policy at any age to help finance life’s milestones.

Why do life insurance companies set a cap on indexed universal life index gains? Expand

This is how insurers balance their risk. By setting a floor for your policy’s investment returns, your insurer is guaranteeing a minimum ROI no matter what the stock market does. If the index funds your cash value is invested in crashes below this floor, it’s up to your insurer to make up the difference. To help reduce this risk, they set a cap on gains and keep any earnings over that cap.

Can I use my policy’s cash value to pay for my premiums? Expand

YES! As your policy’s cash value grows over time, you can capitalize on your investment earnings to pay premiums, making your indexed universal life policy self-sustaining.
