Where your money sits

Every place to keep retirement money has a trade-off.

Here's how the three most common ones compare, so you can see what an annuity does and what it costs you.

In the market

401(k), IRA or brokerage invested in stocks and funds

If the market drops
Your balance drops with it.
Growth
No ceiling, and no floor.
Getting to your money
Usually easy to reach, subject to your plan's and the IRS's rules.
The catch
A big loss right before or early in retirement is hard to recover from.

In the bank

Savings accounts and CDs

If the market drops
Nothing changes. Deposits are FDIC-insured up to the limit.
Growth
A set rate, usually modest.
Getting to your money
Savings any time. CDs charge a penalty if you leave early.
The catch
Growth may not keep up with inflation.

In a MAX CASH Funded IUL

A contract with an insurance company

If the market drops
Index losses don't reduce your cash value. In a down year you're credited zero, not a loss.
Growth
Uncapped indexes and zero percent floor.
Getting to your money
You can borrow against the policy and still have uninterrupted compounding interest.
The catch
Not everyone can qualify due to age and health.

Your options, in plain English.

The one we focus on. It fits some people well and others not at all.

The Max Cash approach

Max-funded IUL

Indexed universal life insurance set up to hold as much cash value as tax rules allow, with the smallest death benefit those rules permit. Interest is credited based on an index, with a floor so a down year credits zero. Policy charges still come out every month, and you can borrow against the cash value later.

  • Good fit if you're healthy, can fund it for years, and want life insurance plus cash you can reach.
  • Watch for insurance charges, underfunding, and loans that can lapse a policy and create a tax bill.

Questions

Straight answers.

Don't see yours? Ask an advisor directly. There's no such thing as a dumb question about your own money.

Talk to an Advisor
Does it cost anything to talk with an advisor?

No. There's no fee for the conversation or the review. Like most insurance agents, your advisor is paid a commission by the insurance company when a policy or annuity is issued. You don't pay a separate fee.

Can I lose money in an IUL?

With an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy, your cash value isn't directly invested in the stock market. Most IULs offer a 0% floor on index credits, meaning market declines won't directly reduce your cash value. When properly funded and managed, an IUL offers the potential for cash value growth while providing valuable life insurance protection.

What is a max-funded IUL?

It's indexed universal life insurance designed to take in as much premium as federal tax rules allow, with the death benefit kept as low as those rules permit. More of each dollar goes to cash value.

It's life insurance first. It has insurance costs, has to be funded as planned, and works best over many years. Policy loans and withdrawals can be income-tax-free if the policy stays in force and isn't a modified endowment contract. A lapse can create a tax bill.

Is an annuity or an IUL better?

Neither one is better across the board. An annuity is built to protect and grow savings and turn them into income. A max-funded IUL is life insurance that also builds cash value, and it needs time and health approval. Your advisor will walk through both with your own numbers.

I've already been shown an IUL. Why get a second opinion?

A second opinion is always worth considering, especially before putting money into an IUL.

Proper policy design matters. Make sure your IUL is structured around your goals, with a clear understanding of the costs and a strategy designed to maximize cash value potential.
