Index Universal Life Insurance (IUL)
At Wellington Life Insurance, we specialize in Universal Index Life Insurance, a dynamic permanent life insurance solution that combines death benefit protection with the potential for cash value growth linked to market indexes. IUL policies offer a unique blend of flexibility, growth opportunity, and downside protection, making them a strategic choice for those looking to build tax-advantaged wealth while safeguarding their loved ones' financial future.
​
Key Features of Index Universal Life (IUL) Insurance:
-
Permanent Coverage: Provides lifelong insurance coverage, ensuring your beneficiaries receive a death benefit regardless of when you pass away.
-
Cash Value Growth Potential: Your policy's cash value growth is tied to the performance of a chosen market index (e.g., S&P 500), offering the potential for higher returns than traditional fixed-interest policies.
-
Downside Protection (0% Floor): A crucial feature of IUL, a "floor" (often 0%) protects your cash value from market losses. If the linked index performs negatively, your cash value typically won't lose money due to market downturns.
-
Flexible Premiums: Offers flexibility in premium payments, allowing you to adjust payment amounts within certain limits as your financial situation changes. You can even use accumulated cash value to help pay premiums.
-
Tax-Advantaged Access to Cash Value: Cash value grows tax-deferred, and you can typically access it through policy loans or withdrawals, often tax-free, for various needs like retirement income, education, or emergencies.
-
Adjustable Death Benefit: The death benefit can often be adjusted (increased or decreased) over time to align with your evolving financial needs.

Tax-Advantaged Cash Growth and Access
IUL policies allow your cash value to grow tax-deferred, meaning you won't pay taxes on earnings as they accumulate. You can later access this cash value, often tax-free, through loans or withdrawals for various financial needs, like supplemental retirement income.
