Permanent Coverage
IUL insurance provides lifelong coverage, meaning it lasts as long as you live, as long as premiums are paid.
Cash Value Growth
Part of your premium goes into a cash value account. This account can grow based on the performance of a stock market index, like the S&P 500. However, your money is not directly invested in the market, so you won't lose money if the market goes down.
Flexibility
You can choose to allocate your cash value to either a fixed-rate account (with a guaranteed interest rate) or an indexed account (tied to a stock market index). You also have the flexibility to adjust your premiums and death benefit as your needs change.
