This strategy combines permanent life insurance protection with potential market-linked investment growth. The cash value in your IUL policy is linked to a stock market index like the S&P 500, Hang Seng or Eurostoxx but with a floor rate to protect against downturns. You get market upside potential without any market linked downside risk.
Not entirely. While IULs offer lifetime protection against stock market losses, you won't fully participate in all of the market gains. IULs cap market participation at a certain percentage which is typically 10-11% per year meaning you benefit less during strong market years.
As with any investment, there are costs and charges to consider. In the case of ULI policies, there are policy fees and expenses, as well as the cost of insurance charges that can impact your returns.
IULs offer a unique feature called the floor rate, which ensures that your cash value will not experience prolonged periods of negative or zero growth. Your cash value will still grow at the guaranteed minimal rate, typically 2-3% per year, even if the underlying stock market index performs poorly. When you cash out your policy, you will receive the guaranteed rate if the market has failed to outperform this amount each year.

Yes, several alternatives life policies offer stock market investment potential, including:
Carefully compare IUL policies based on factors like:
While IULs offer protection and potential growth, there are risks to consider before committing:
Financial Risks
Surrender Charges: These penalties apply if you withdraw funds before a specific period (often 10-15 years). These charges can significantly reduce your cash value and erode potential returns.
Policy Lapse: Missing premium payments can lead to policy lapse, meaning you lose coverage and potentially all accumulated cash value.
Fees and Expenses: IULs have various fees, like mortality and administrative charges, which can eat into your returns and growth over time.
Limited Market Participation: While offering downside protection, IULs typically cap gains at a certain percentage (less than full market gains). This limits your potential returns in strong market years.
Interest Rate Risk: Low interest rates can impact crediting rates and limit cash value growth in some IULs.
Complexity and Transparency
Product Complexity: IULs are complex financial products with numerous features and potential pitfalls. Thoroughly understand the terms, conditions, and potential consequences before signing up.
Sales Practices: Be wary of aggressive sales tactics that overemphasise potential benefits and downplay risks. Conduct independent research and consult a financial advisor for unbiased advice.
Policy and Insurer Risks
Changes in Policy Terms: Insurers reserve the right to modify policy terms, such as crediting rates and fees, over time. These changes can negatively impact your financial projections.
Company Financial Strength: Ensure the insurer offering the IUL has a strong financial rating and track record to minimise the risk of insolvency or policy changes.
Product Availability: IULs are relatively new products, and their long-term performance and stability are yet to be fully established.
Additional Considerations
Suitability for Individual Needs: IULs may not be suitable for everyone's financial goals and risk tolerance. Consult a financial advisor to determine if it aligns with your specific situation.
Alternatives Exist: Explore other investment options like traditional investments, IRAs, or other life insurance options before locking into an IUL.
Reputable financial publications, insurance company websites and Capital for Life’s own website provide more information and valuable resources. A specialist life insurance agent or financial advisor can assess your financial situation, risk tolerance, and goals to determine if an IUL is the right choice for you.
