What to consider
The primary purpose is a death benefit. IUL is not a direct investment in an index or the stock market.
Review guaranteed and non-guaranteed values, crediting limits, participation rates, and ongoing insurance charges.

Questions to ask
No. Non-guaranteed assumptions can change. Ask for a comparison with the guaranteed ledger and lower-crediting scenarios.
Access depends on the policy. Loans accrue interest; withdrawals and loans can reduce protection and create lapse or tax risks.
