How Bad is the Actual Performance of an Indexed Universal Life Policy?


Listen Later

Are you curious about the actual performance of an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy? In this episode, we dive into the details of an IUL policy put in force 9 years ago and address the common arguments against IUL. You'll learn about the static interest rate assumptions used in IUL illustrations, the concerns about cap rates, and how this policy has performed over time.

Despite the assumption of a 6.3% static index credit at inception and the cap rate falling from 12% to as low as 7.5%, the policy has exceeded its original projection of $183,119, with an actual cash value balance of $198,960 to date. We'll discuss the average applicable cap rate for the life of the policy, the average index credit since inception, and the frequency of the index capping out.

You'll also discover the guaranteed bonus the policy will receive starting after the next policy year and how it compares to the performance of whole life policies issued simultaneously. We'll explore the potential for the policy to continue outperforming its original projections and the options available to the policyholder now that the policy is nearly out of surrender.

Tune in to learn more about the actual performance of an IUL policy and gain valuable insights into this often-debated topic.
