Indexed universal life (IUL) insurance provides a generally income-tax-free death benefit to beneficiaries and the potential to build tax-deferred accumulation.

Indexed universal life insurance policies require qualification through health and financial underwriting.

Exercising an Index Lock may result in a credit higher or lower than if the Index Lock had not been exercised.

Bonused products may include higher surrender charges, longer surrender periods, lower rates, or other restrictions that are not included in similar products that don’t offer a bonus. The indexed allocations that offer the interest bonus will generally have lower caps and participation rates. Not all bonuses guarantee that a policy will be credited with an interest bonus every year as some are based on the growth of an index.

The 2022 Allianz Middle Market Study was conducted by Allianz Life as an online survey in August 2022 with 800 respondents, ages 25-40. Respondents have an annual household income of $100,000+ and either 1) contribute $20,500 or more to retirement investment accounts, or 2) meet or exceed their employer-sponsored match and are making/interested in making additional contributions to another account.

Fixed index universal life insurance can provide a potential solution to Advanced Markets strategies. You should encourage your clients to consult their tax advisor and/or attorney to discuss their specific situation.
