Index Universal Life (IUL)
Indexed Universal Life (IUL): Protection + Tax-Free Growth in One Powerful Plan
Looking for a way to protect your family while building long-term, tax-advantaged wealth?
An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy could be your smartest financial move.
At Independent Brokers of Orlando, we help clients like you combine life insurance protection with the ability to grow money—without market risk. Whether you're looking to supplement retirement, cover college expenses, or leave a legacy, an IUL offers flexible benefits that go far beyond traditional insurance.
📈 What Is an IUL?
Indexed Universal Life is a permanent life insurance policy with a twist: it gives you the option to grow your cash value based on the performance of a stock market index (like the S\&P 500), without exposing your money to market losses.
Unlike a traditional investment account, the growth inside an IUL is:
Tax-deferred (you don’t pay taxes as it grows)
Tax-free when accessed properly through policy loans
Protected by a guaranteed floor (you won’t lose money if the market goes down)
And unlike term life insurance, an IUL offers lifetime coverage—so your policy never expires as long as you maintain it properly.
🔑 Key Benefits of an IUL
✅ Tax-Free Retirement Income
Take income from your policy later in life without triggering income taxes when structured correctly.
✅ Principal Protection
Your cash value can’t lose money due to market downturns thanks to a 0% or 1% “floor” depending on the carrier.
✅ Market-Linked Growth
Earn interest based on the performance of popular indexes (e.g., S\&P 500) up to a cap—without being directly invested in the market.
✅ Living Benefits
Access funds early in case of critical, chronic, or terminal illness—so your policy works when you’re alive, not just after you pass.
✅ Flexible Premiums and Death Benefits
Adjust your payments and protection level as your needs and budget change over time.
✅ Legacy Planning
Leave your loved ones a tax-free death benefit while also building wealth you can access during your lifetime.
🎯 Who Is an IUL Right For?
An IUL can be a great fit for:
Individuals maxing out traditional retirement accounts
Small business owners or self-employed professionals
Parents looking to build tax-free college savings
High-income earners who want tax diversification
Anyone seeking lifetime coverage with cash value growth
Note: IULs are not ideal for those who can only afford minimum payments. These policies work best when properly funded over time.
