Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance that offers both a death benefit and a savings component. IUL policies are designed to provide flexibility and growth potential by allowing policyholders to participate in stock market index returns without being directly invested in the stock market.
With an IUL policy, the policyholder pays premiums, which are used to pay for the cost of insurance and to fund the cash value account. The cash value account grows based on the performance of a stock market index, such as the S&P 500. The growth potential of the policy is capped, which means that the policyholder will not receive the full return of the index but rather a portion of it, with the potential for higher returns than traditional fixed-rate life insurance policies.
One of the key benefits of IUL is the flexibility it provides in terms of premium payments and death benefit amounts. The policyholder can choose to adjust the premium payments and death benefit amounts as their financial situation changes. Additionally, IUL policies typically offer a tax-free death benefit to beneficiaries, as well as tax-deferred growth of the cash value account.
However, it's important to note that IUL policies can be complex and may come with fees and charges that can impact the growth potential of the policy. It's important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the policy, including any fees, caps, and limits on the growth potential, before deciding if an IUL policy is right for your individual needs and goals. Consulting with a financial advisor with Mosley Mutuals can also be helpful in determining if an IUL policy is a suitable option for your financial situation.

An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy can provide a tax-free retirement income through the policy's cash value account. As the policyholder pays premiums into the policy, a portion of the premium is allocated to the cash value account, which grows based on the performance of a stock market index. The cash value account can be accessed during retirement to provide tax-free income, which can help to supplement other retirement income sources, such as Social Security or pensions.
One of the main advantages of an IUL policy is the tax-deferred growth of the cash value account. This means that the gains in the account are not subject to income taxes until they are withdrawn from the account. Additionally, if the policyholder withdraws funds from the cash value account through a policy loan or partial surrender, the withdrawals are generally tax-free up to the amount of the policyholder's basis in the policy (the amount of premiums paid into the policy).
It's important to note that the tax treatment of IUL policies can be complex, and the rules and regulations may change over time. Therefore, it's important to consult with an advisor at Mosley Mutuals to fully understand the tax implications of an IUL policy and to ensure that the policy is structured in a way that is most beneficial for your individual retirement income needs and goals.
