An Indexed Universal Life policy protects your family, grows your wealth tax-free, shields it from market crashes with a guaranteed 0% floor, and generates tax-free income in retirement — all in one permanent policy. It's one of the most powerful financial tools available, and most people discover it 10 years too late.
Most people think of life insurance as something their family collects after they're gone. For term insurance, that's exactly right — and that's all it does.
You pay premiums for 20 or 30 years. If you die within the term, your family gets a check. If you outlive it, the policy disappears — along with every dollar you ever paid into it. There's no residual value. No return. Nothing.
An Indexed Universal Life policy — an IUL — is an entirely different financial tool.
Yes, it provides a permanent death benefit that never expires. But beyond that, every premium you pay builds cash value in a separate account — cash you can access while you're still alive for retirement income, an unexpected emergency, college tuition, or whatever you need most.
That cash value grows linked to a market index — real upside potential — with a guaranteed floor of 0%, meaning a market crash cannot reduce what you've built.

Your policy carries a permanent death benefit. Unlike term insurance, this doesn't expire after 20 or 30 years. As long as premiums are paid and the policy is maintained, your beneficiaries receive this benefit no matter when you pass away.
A portion of each premium goes into a cash value account. This earns interest based on a market index (usually the S&P 500) up to a cap, but with a floor of 0%. When markets drop 25%, you earn 0% — not negative. Your cash value is never reduced by market performance.
Over time, your cash value builds. You can access it through policy loans — typically income-tax-free — for retirement income, emergencies, education costs, or anything else. This is what advisors call the "living benefit." It's money you can use while you're alive.
Important: IUL is a long-term vehicle. Cash value builds over time — typically 10+ years before significant access is available. It is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle. Consult with Audrey to determine whether an IUL fits your specific timeline and goals.
