How Indexed Universal Life Insurance in Michigan Works

Indexed universal life (IUL) is a type of permanent life insurance with flexible features.

Death Benefit

IUL provides a death benefit to your beneficiaries. Some policies let you choose a level or increasing benefit.

Index-Linked Interest

Cash value can earn interest tied to a market index. Your money is not invested directly in the market.

Caps and Floors

Caps limit how much interest you can earn. Floors help protect against losses from index declines. Policy charges still apply.

Flexible Premiums

You may be able to change premium payments, but underfunding can cause the policy to lapse.
