The message is always consistent: this product can solve your financial problems, provide market upside with downside protection, and generate tax-free retirement income. One product, all things to all people. For most people, IUL is the wrong tool entirely. Not because it's fraudulent. Not because it can't work for anyone. But because there's a fundamental mismatch between how it's sold and who it actually serves. And that mismatch shows up in the data. https://youtu.be/fZS1uPmsCS0 According to a 2021 study by Gottlieb and Smetters, published in the American Economic Review (1) and drawing on SOA and LIMRA persistency data, nearly 88% of universal life policies never pay a death benefit. That figure covers all universal life products, including IUL. And IUL was built specifically to fix the lapse problems of earlier UL products. It hasn't. The chassis is the problem. This article is a profile-by-profile look at the people who should not buy an IUL, the data that supports why, and a fair look at the narrow group for whom it might make sense. We're not taking sides. We're giving you the information you need to make a decision that actually fits your life.
