Allianz Life Pro Elite Indexed Universal Life Insurance Review

[@michaelostenson465]

thank you...the tail end explaining level vs increasing death benefit just saved me 10s if not 100s of thousands of dollars :)

[@newpete4082]

What are your top 3 Iul products or companies ?

[@sylaskeb3493]

from what I've seen Allianz, F&G, North American and national life all have good IULs. Another good person to check out is James barber aka Oregon Cashflow Pro on KZbin

[@trentjessee]

How much commission are we really about that the agent misses out on when doing option B? 100’s or 1000’s of dollars? The transparency of what agents earn is not like the lending industry. This clearly needs to change. The more transparency offered by choice instead of having to pass another freaking law to require them to do so is something that I believe everyone would benefit by. The agent would instill more trust with clients and write more successful policies. This is what you’re doing, just awesome!

[@psykobot]

Ask the agent what the target premium is on the policy illustrated. They get paid based on that.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

definitely 1000's

[@muhammadsubhani7420]

Trent, it's absolutely critical to work with an honest agent. As an agent myself, I always transparently state my commission, even educate clients about it because it forces you to explain the value proposition of the cash max accumulation IUL with lowest DBs, and they walk away happy about being informed clients getting tons of benefits.

[@trentjessee]

Just amazing, wow! Eyes have been opened thanks so much for doing this video demo!

[@williamd9393]

Here is some really good advise- Get a minimum of 5 ( yes I said 5 ) attorneys to read your contracts and read it your self and ask a lot of questions. Nothing like getting screwed by Insurance company - They did not get to be one of the largest industries in the United States without making huge amount of money out of you pocket. There are a lot of (IF's) in the wording of the contract. There is nothing like finding out you have been screwed after paying on a policy for 10 or 20 years. GOOD LUCK

[@DG-kz8fq]

The income that can be taken out tax free at the end is based on S&P and the Indexes correct? So the 6.90% return over the life of the policy would be $117k, if it was only a 6% return it would be $99k, and only a 5% return it would be $63k. Do these returns include fees ? Because those returns are low - unless they are guaranteed returns - then that is great. Now in the stock market, historically, it is 8% on average. So the extra 1.10% you pay to get the 6.90% in the best case scenario would net you $117k tax free. This is also assuming that you can take the indexed loan out at a 5% rate while your principal is getting the 6.80% so you can benefit from positive arbitrage. Am I understanding this correctly? If so there seems to be a lot of "if this then that". Not trying to be negative as I am interested in an IUL and booked a discovery call, however there seems to be a lot of "if this then that" policy.

Keep doing this.... it is super helpful!

[@ArupBhanja]

Eye opener video for me.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@raulgameros784]

Awesome videos like always Matthew. What’s your opinion On Columbus Life IUL’s? I feel like they’re a a very strong company. Any opinion?

[@richardalvarez6537]

Very good break down of how to structure an IUL however the last part of putting down agents that justify the need for other things like more coverage or LTC that statement is concerning.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Thanks for watching! the "other things" take away from the main goal a majority of our clients look into IUL's for: Maximum cash growth and income.

[@that9boy]

If this is your top 3, who are the other 2? What's your opinion on AIG & John Hancock and their newly updated products?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

AIG is ok. JH for income? No thanks.

[@waveslifestyle]

are the distributions loans or withdrawals? if loans, are they getting paid back?

[@dansharpe8375]

Who do you consider the top five carriers? I totally agree with the ones to stay away from.

[@taxedtodeath5334]

It will cost the client almost $900,000 if you include the difference in death benefit.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Crazy right?

[@yezzir5464]

What are the other Top 2?

[@yuouyang4207]

Nice, thank you

[@mlwebb79]

How stringent is the underwriting on this product?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Not too bad!

[@Petitemarie55555]

So can you leave the policy to be increasing until the policy end or you need to change it back to level, and if you change it to level,will you get charge any fee, and how you change it to level, Allianz will change it for you? Or whenever you need to submit a paperwork to change it by yourself?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

I usually use a blend of both, if done correctly, the company will do it for you

[@CdotForbes13]

What is your opinion on suncor financials product named MPI that uses an IUL then takes out policy loans and puts them back in to create multiple buckets to make interest off of. Essentially a leveraging system to increase returns, the more buckets and the more positive years the spread between the interest made and the loan interest increases cash value. It's a little more complex than that but wanted to know if you were familiar with the product and how it relates to the allianz product. In this situation it appears the loan strategy isn't being used. Looking forward to your insight.

[@karenliu529]

Which do you think it's better, this Allianz pro or the North America Builder plus, for a very healthy person?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Depends on a few factors. They are both great.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

[@KAMFamilyProductions]

Good review video! How come every video comes with bashing agents trying to "criminally" push death benefit up? lol Also, can you please let us know why the required premium for Allianz LifePro+ is so high compared to Trans or Nationwide?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

I would say that 85% of the policies that we review are designed poorly. It needs to be said that most agents are either under educated on these products, or they are interested in high commissions. What do you mean by required premium? that typically depends on how you design the policy, not really the carrier.

[@conggao5565]

Is this still a concern if Transamerica has 0.72% of assets based fee but floor is 0.75%? So kinda still 0 floor. Thanks.

What are your thoughts on the LASER fund by Doug Andrews? He's an advocate on option A and over funding the policy to keep the fees lower later in the policy

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Overfunding? Yes. In terms of option A vs. option B: it depends on the situation. There is a specific blend of both options that make for the best design for cash growth.

[@muhammadsubhani7420]

I am reading a lot of Doug Andrew's work diving into the "Section I Nuts and Bolts" of LASER fund as we speak haha. Depends on the situation really. For example, it showed that for a younger client contributing a long time with many annual premiums, it makes sense to start with increasing DB then switch to fixed DB later for lower internal policy costs.

[@Allenballen88]

@@muhammadsubhani7420 yup exactly! It definitely depends on age and funding capability from what I've learned. But overall if structured & funded right, it could work really well for anyone

Is global Atlantic lifetime builder elite a good IUL for cash value accumulation?

[@Ennoble1]

Hi, I am a life insurance broker, we present most of the A rating companies out there, It really depends on your age, and your family situation, Global Atlantic Lifetime builder elite product might not be the best for cash value accumulation, their Foundation Elite product has more advantage for the older customers has limited fund but want a good DB coverage. Hope this helps.

[@mattmill7130]

Hi Matthew, so creating a GOOD policy is basically just selecting an increasing DB?

[@psykobot]

Generally if most efficient cash value accumulation then income is what you're looking for, start with increasing DB and max fund the policy, then switch to level DB once premiums stop.

[@muhammadsubhani7420]

Especially if you are younger contributing for a long timeframe, increasing DB then switching to fixed DB later for lower policy costs is a smart play.

[@iFlicku]

For this IUL product, do you recommend guaranteed or nonguaranteed?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

What do you mean by this?

[@muhammadsubhani7420]

Swyft, if you're asking about principal protection, IUL is good for that. VUL can be invested in markets so it can take on risk. There aren't "guarantees" per se aside from some rare carriers that are newly offering IUL with guaranteed lifetime income riders, which is interesting. But IUL doesn't have guarantees unlike Whole Life, pros and cons of both.

What is the rate of return while you take income distribution?

Thank you for the review. What product do you invest on or what company do you have an IUL from? Also, I saw you had a review on Nationwide but I could not find it on this channel. Would you share the link of your review?

I have 2 companies that I own, neither are nationwide.

[@kunalamin8]

what is the reason to make policy level after 65?

[@jamessterrett9315]

You level out the policy because they've stopped paying premiums into the policy. No reason to keep increasing expenses (insurance costs) within the policy if they're not funding it anymore.

[@kunalamin8]

@@jamessterrett9315 thank you. What happens to the cash value if person dies after 65.

[@jamessterrett9315]
