Why high-income families use IUL

IUL brings together in one contract what usually takes several products: protection in dollars, a value that accrues, liquidity during life, tax efficiency, and an organized estate. That's why it sits at the center of a wealth protection strategy.

The advantages, in broad terms

Protection in dollars
A hard-currency death benefit to the beneficiaries you choose, paid, as a rule, outside probate.
Value that accrues
Part of the premium builds a policy value that can grow with market indexes, with a contractual floor in down years.
Liquidity without selling anything
Loans from the insurer itself, using the policy value as collateral and with no bank credit check. It is the basis of the strategy known as infinite banking.
U.S. tax efficiency
Under U.S. law, policy value grows tax-deferred, and the death benefit and policy loans are, as a rule, not taxed as income.
Creditor protection
In Florida, the law protects the cash value and death benefit of policies owned by state residents from creditors, with the exceptions the law provides.
Planned inheritance
Immediate liquidity for heirs, and a death benefit that can be several times the total premiums paid.

For people who live in the U.S.

Protecting the breadwinner
If the main income stops, the family keeps its standard of living, the children's school, and its plans.
Mortgage protection
The death benefit can pay off the mortgage and leave the home free and clear for the family.
Estate planning
Cash available at the right time for costs, taxes, and distribution, without rushed asset sales.
Growing the inheritance
Turning part of your wealth into a larger dollar capital for the next generation.
Companies and partners
Buy-sell and key-person protection, and executive benefit plans.
Every budget
For U.S. residents, there are solutions for every life stage and income level.

Common questions

Is dollar life insurance (IUL) an investment?

No. IUL is a life insurance contract. Policy value may accrue based on market indexes, within limits and a floor set in the contract, and can be used during life. But it remains insurance, with policy charges.

Can someone living in Brazil buy it?

There may be a path, depending on the case. We work with a U.S. insurer specialized in international clients, with products for non-residents, aimed mainly at high-income clients. Eligibility and the rules of your country of residence are reviewed before any proposal.

How does a policy loan work?

You borrow from the insurer using the accrued value as collateral, with no bank credit check. The loan bears interest; any unpaid balance is deducted from the death benefit and, if the policy value is not enough, the policy can lapse. That's why its use is planned with you.

Is it tax-free?

For U.S. taxpayers, U.S. law gives life insurance favorable treatment: policy value grows tax-deferred, and the death benefit and policy loans are, as a rule, not taxed as income. In some business arrangements, amounts paid by the company may be deductible. For residents of other countries, local law also applies. Each case is reviewed with tax advisors.

Is the policy protected from creditors?

In Florida, state law protects the cash value and, as a rule, the death benefit of policies owned by state residents from creditors (Florida Statutes, sections 222.13 and 222.14), with exceptions provided by law. Other states and countries have different rules.

How much does it cost?

It depends on age, health, coverage amount, and goal. The proposal is designed for your case after the first conversation and is subject to the insurer's underwriting.

IUL is a life insurance contract, not a financial investment. Guaranteed values, where they exist, are subject to the policy terms. Policy loans bear interest and reduce the death benefit if unpaid. Tax treatment depends on each person's tax residence. Scenarios shown in meetings are illustrative, and past index performance does not guarantee future results. Insurance is subject to the insurer's underwriting.

The first conversation is private and reviews your goal, eligibility, and what makes sense for your family.
