Bad Years Don't Destroy IUL

You've probably heard criticism about index universal life insurance and its overly optimistic projections. We tackle this head-on by examining what really happens when your IUL policy doesn't perform as expected in those crucial early years.

We break down three realistic scenarios using actual numbers and assumptions. You'll see how a policy performs under our base case projection, what happens during 15 consecutive bad years at the start, and how things play out when good years come first, followed by declining performance.

The results might surprise you. Even with 15 poor-performing years right after purchase, your policy can still generate nearly the same retirement income you originally planned for. We show you the math behind why this happens and why it matters for your long-term financial strategy.

You'll also learn why cap rate reductions aren't the policy killers many people think they are. We share real examples from policies we've managed that have seen significant cap rate drops yet continue performing well for their owners.

This episode dives deep into the technical side of IUL performance, but we keep it practical. You'll understand why the variability that scares some people is actually one of the product's greatest strengths for retirement planning. ____________________________
