Indexed Universal Life buyer guide: policy design, charges, loans, and review
Indexed Universal Life is permanent life insurance with a death benefit and cash-value component. It is not a direct investment in an external index; policy value depends on its design, crediting terms, charges, funding, loans, and ongoing management.
Questions to review
- What permanent protection need is the policy intended to address?
- What guaranteed and non-guaranteed values are shown in the illustration?
- What charges, crediting limits, riders, and funding assumptions apply?
- What happens if premiums change, a loan is taken, or the policy performs differently than illustrated?
- How and when will the policy be reviewed?
An illustration is not a promise of future results. Review policy materials and request an in-force illustration before making material changes.
