Indexed Universal Life Insurance Policies & Quotes

Indexed Universal Life Insurance Policies & Quotes

Indexed Universal Life is life insurance that can provide a death benefit, as all life insurance policies do, along with the potential to build cash value. To build cash value, you make payments beyond the cost of insurance. That money is placed into accounts that can be credited interest and grow over time. The ability to build cash value is based on a financial index. We use the S&P 500® Index.

Should I Keep Reading?

Yes, if two things are true for you: You want the option to build cash value in the policy; and you are comfortable with the amount you can build being limited in exchange for some security against losing money. Still interested? If so, an indexed UL policy could be right for you.

How These Policies Work

One of the benefits of this type of policy is its potential to build cash value. Interest is credited based on a fixed rate or how the S&P 500® performs. The interest activity in the policy mirrors the up and down changes of the index. Each index account includes a minimum interest rate of 0% (the floor) that protects you from market-based loss; it may also include a maximum that would limit growth as well (the cap). Please understand that the money in these policies is not directly invested in any indexs, including the S&P 500® and doesn't include dividends.

Built-in features help to limit extreme losses and gains. These policies have:

  • A “cap”: It limits how much index interest can be credited.
  • A “floor”: protects against loss.

Prudential’s Policies

We offer three indexed policies. All provide a death benefit to your family or business when you die. They also offer flexible premium payments. This means that keeping the policy in effect as your situation changes is easier.

    Legacy

    Illness

    Offset Taxes

    Business

    This policy lets you keep the insurance protection you need safe for as long as you need it. You can do this with an adjustable guarantee against lapse.

    Your policy can build cash value. This is money you can use for anything you choose.1 A common use is extra money during retirement. This policy also offers a rider that can accelerate the death benefit if you become seriously ill.

    Two interest-crediting options help to build cash value: 

    • One is based on a fixed, declared interest rate (basic interest).
    • The other is based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index and offers more growth potential. This option does not include dividends. It has a floor of 0% to protect against losses and a cap that limits the amount of interest that can be credited.

    Please note that policy features vary by state.

    Tailor your policy

    You can build this policy with optional features. These are called riders. Riders can help you:

    • If you become seriously ill.2 See the Living Needs BenefitSM and the BenefitAccess Rider.

Footnote

  • 1 You can access life insurance policy cash values through withdrawals and loans. Interest is charged on loans. In general, loans are not taxable. Withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. If you take a loan and do not pay it back before the policy lapses or is canceled or the insured dies, this will cause immediate taxation to the extent of gain in the policy. Unpaid loans and withdrawals reduce cash values and policy benefits and can also reduce the length of the guarantee against lapse; this can cause the policy to lapse and/or have tax consequences. If a policy is a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), distributions (including loans) are taxable to the extent of income in the policy; plus, an additional 10% federal income tax penalty may apply. Please consult your tax advisor for advice about your own situation.

  • 2 Subject to the terms and conditions of the rider.

About the guarantee against lapse.

Generally, the more premiums you pay, the longer the guarantee will last. Changing when and/or how often you pay premiums and taking loans or withdrawals will also affect the guarantee.

Canceling your policy.

  • If you choose to cancel your policy, you may incur fees known as surrender charges.
  • Surrender charges may reduce the policy’s cash value in early years. The policy’s cash surrender value is the accumulated value less the surrender charges. Other charges may include, but are not limited to: premium-based administrative charges; and monthly charges including cost of insurance.
  • PruLife Index Advantage UL has a 15-year declining surrender charge.
  • PruLife Founders Plus UL and PruLife Survivorship Index UL have 14-year declining surrender charges.

About how the indexed accounts work.

The potential to build cash value in the Indexed Account(s) is based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index (using an index growth cap and floor) on an annual point-to-point basis based on a 100% participation rate (subject to change). Money that is placed in the Indexed Account(s) is not a direct investment in the S&P 500® Index and doesn't include dividends. PruLife Founders Plus, PruLife Index Advantage UL, and PruLife Survivorship Index UL are not variable contracts or investment contracts.

The Index Growth Cap is generally stated as a percentage, which is the maximum rate of interest that will be credited at the end of the one-year segment duration, regardless of changes to the designated index. The Index Growth Cap is declared for each segment in advance of each segment start date. The Index Growth Cap may be raised or lowered at our discretion before the segment is created, but will not be lower than the guaranteed minimum index growth cap stated in the policy. Once a segment is created, its Index Growth Cap will not change. Changes are not tied to the performance of the underlying index and may be based on interest rates, market volatility, and other factors. 
For Index Advantage UL Spread is the percentage that will be deducted from the earned rate on the Uncapped Indexed Account.

The Index Growth Cap and Spread are declared for each Index Segment and Indexed Account option as applicable in advance of each Index Segment Duration. The Index Growth Cap and Spread are subject to change at our discretion, both up and down, but are guaranteed to never be less than 3.00% for the Cap, and no more than 30% for the Spread. Changes are not tied to the performance of the underlying index and may be based on interest rates, market volatility, and other factors.
