10 Reasons Not to Buy an Indexed Universal Life Policy - Part 3

We are back to continue our review of an article that came out ten years ago with a similar title to our podcast episode. And this is the third in a series where we are going to unpack each of these ten points, these ten reasons, and help you understand the difference between an Indexed Universal Life policy and a Whole Life policy. We want you to hear both sides, so you are well-informed and can make the best decisions for yourself and your family. If you haven't watched the first two in this series, you can watch those before this one to get caught up!

Today we are focusing on numbers six, five and four. #6 is "Dividends from the index don't get credited*", #5 is "Participation ratios are often less than 100%*" and #4 is "Returns are usually capped at various interest rates*." Listen as we explain what we think these mean and why they seem to be untruthful and inaccurate. We like to make these concepts simple and easy for you to understand. And if you have any questions, we have answers and reports we can share with you or your agent. Just reach out to [email protected], and we're happy to share!
