The insurance
industry is always inventing new products to try to sell more insurance or
insurance + investment products that charge higher commissions than basic term
or whole life insurance. Indexed universal life is one of these new complicated
products.
See:
Keep it simple. Buy
basic term life insurance to cover your insurance needs and invest separately;
again, keep the investments simple and straightforward (i.e. low cost, no-load
index mutual funds).
The more complicated
the product, the higher the commission to the sales person which is why the
financial industry heavily promotes their more complicated products. Life
insurance sales people cannot make a living by selling what consumers need-
basic term insurance.
In general,
consumers are better off with plain vanilla financial/insurance products.
