Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Insurance Fees Explained

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Having a properly designed IUL is the most important aspect of IUL designed for maximum cash accumulation. Understanding the fees can help you determine if your policy is properly designed.

[@victorespino5650]

Fees... I typically compare multiple companies, make sure I adjust their expected rate of return so they're the same and the same death benefit, then see which company leaves me with the most cash value at the end for retirement. Some companies have higher initial fees but then outpace over time certain other companies.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

[@yodhangzien]

[@danmatheson2339]

This is the best explanation of fees in and IUL I've seen on the web. I especially like how you compared the long-term view of the fees of the IUL vs. managed money. As a series 65 advisor, I value the role that a properly structured life insurance policy plays in a great retirement plan. I believe life insurance is one of the most misunderstood AND under-utilized financial products on the planet--seriously. Bravo for your presentation!

[@jbenjamin06]

"the right way" is the best way for the client. I have an increasing IUL so I can add extra income every year without breaking MEC. Once I reach a number in comfortable with I will level off the policy. The right way is the way the client needs it for their lifestyle and place in life.

[@conggao5565]

I liked the content and revisited after 2.5 yrs. well explained. I want to just highlight one thing: with the evolution of financial industry, the fees on self directed/robo advisor / financial adviser all came down. I would never think IUL best investment compared to low cost index fund with the same funding level, either short term (when considering the front loaded fees) or long term (limited cap and no dividend). But it has many good aspects such as tax free loan, life time protection etc. I think it has unique value in overall financial planning and assets class, I just hate it when agent makes the IUL looks prettier than everything else , the solution for almost everything and convince you to buy one. For investor with discipline, you don’t need surrender charge to make you do so, you can do good with regular DCA approach over time. Just make sure work with a fiduciary like Matt to give unbiased opinion, don’t be carried away by unrealistic expectations and understand what you were trying to accomplish most with IUL!

[@hanselbermudez7604]

A fiduciary can't simply put someone in an SP500 index fund because one has to consider risk profile. The index account in life insurance has a much different risk profile than a mutual fund

[@dwo356]

If you still need to pay those kinds of fees to a manager of a fund AFTER you start withdrawing in retirement, you're doing it wrong. You should already have your account setup to no longer need the constant rebalancing because the account should be all low risk. Even paying a high fee to get the account setup that way would still end up costing less than your insurance example.

[@hanselbermudez7604]

Or you can pay the insurance and maintain pretty great market upside without the risk.

[@andrewmchugh1602]

Personally, an expense ratio of 1% and 2% is way too high. Whoever's managing a portfolio with those expense ratio rates is clearly not using a sound investment strategy for retirement.

[@knowone4267]

I've been licensed going on a decade selling the most basic insurance products but recently I've been wanting to learn more about IUL's. This is the best explanation of fees I've seen thus far.

[@lasereyes555]

1) The "Wrong" example he gave a high Death Benefit thus the higher cost and lower surrender value. More Death Benefit amount, higher cost. 2)The "Right" example he gave a low death benefit thus the lower cost and high surrender value. Basically, you over pay the premium so the policy will have more money to invest for your Surrender Value account. He only told half of the truth.

[@心雨在美国]

@@lasereyes555 You are right. The "wrong" version's death benefit should be 1M, but "Correct" version death benefit should be 0.5 M. That is key point.

[@ashleytaylor994]

When you show the comparisons from top to bottom to make the policy as beneficial to the client at 11:00. The way you did this was to decrease the death benefit correct? That is the only thing that changed right? Bottom one had less death benefit, so less fees. And the top one had more death benefit, so more fees? Or was there another variable you changed as well?

[@umashankar6836]

Looks like it? He should have shown the death benefit column also. That would have made the explanation more clearer

[@patrickwaters2975]

Matt- I posted on LinkedIn essentially the same thing about two weeks ago. I was more generous to the AUM guys and only had them charging 20 bps (obviously, lower than what we expect) to illustrate that IULs, when properly structured, are the most efficient way to save. I work at an FMO and we compute what we call the “Hurdle Rate” which is all of the costs in the first 20 years of the policy, annualized, and then divided by the illustrated account value at year 20. Similar to an AUM fee. We try to keep them between 100 bps and 150 for clients between the ages of 60 and 68. For older clients’ we have to typically add the death benefit stretch out to get there and sometimes even with that we come in around 170 bps.

[@yanshirleyliu4017]

nice explaination. just one question regarding the comparison between money manager fee and insurance fee. The most important for client is the account value after fees not the fees. The problem for IUL is that it's heavily charged in front comparing to MM and it delays cash accumulation.

[@hanselbermudez7604]

This is true about the fees, but is also true about market crashes with a money manager!

[@scnager1]

What causes the fees in the top example to be so different from the bottom example now I know the basics of maxing out cash value and minimizing fees

[@ambientgamesound]

IULs are LIFE INSURANCE first, investment second. These policies are typically only suitable as an investment in very rare circumstances. If your net worth exceeds $10 million and you have particular tax or estate planning needs, they might make sense. However, for most people, 401k is a better choice.

you didnt say what you actually did to the policy to change the fees. Its the Face amount that you changed that affects the way the company charges fees. Is this correct?

Generally speaking, you are correct. Some carriers also give the option of what % of premium is commissionable.

[@thienhoac1187]

So in order to minimize the COI charge in the future, is a level option of IUL (or option A in some carriers) is better than increasing death benefit (option B) due to the gap between the cash value and death benefit will be smaller over time? Please correct me if im wrong, thank you so much.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Start with B (using a min DB solve) switch to A after premiums are done being paid. Experiment with using option C all the way through (if available).

[@christopherjames4632]

@@thegodpill9696 I'm confused here..I thought the more death benefits increased the more premiums increase as the policy and insured ages. With an increasing death benefits the current policy need to be funded to support that. I thought a level death benefits would have less fees since the cash value is growing which mean less fees as you stated about the subtraction of cash value from the face amount. Please help.

[@blisslimoservice1732]

Will you choose getting a term policy or whole life at a cheaper price and invest your money in mutual funds? This IUL hasn't been around that long so I'm still looking for someone that can show they have been able to cash that policy and get their mo ey out 30-40 years later without losing mo ey or having to send a higher premium.just so they can keep their policy in place.as we age our premium starts going up so they start taking a bigger portion of your payments and put it on your policy this means less money is going to your cash value, plus the fees and everything that you would accrue as you get older. Isn't that risky?? Will really appreciate your feedback

I don’t recommend 1 strategy as the end all be all. You should have several different buckets of income. The IUL risks don’t scare me assuming the policy is designed right. That’s a big assumption...

Hi did you use a YRT or level cost insurance? Also what rate of return? Thanks.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

In a UL you don't have a choice. Its all built on YRT. But the YRT rate is based on net amount at risk (which should be a decreasing number). Rate of return was the historical rate for the carrier. I believe between 6-7%, at this point I don't recall specifically. Rate of return has little to do with the fees other than influencing net amount at risk.

[@chrisrobbins1488]

I think it’s suitable to compare fee schedules between an index fund and an IUL as long as you compare the end results as well. Obviously the IUL is not exposed to downside risk, and any down year could drop a IF’s assets by 30% and throw things off for a long time, damaging the rate of compounding. In this case you are certainly able to compare the two (just as you did between the IUL and the MF) because they are primarily investment vehicles at this point. By structuring an IUL in the proper way one is basically opening the doorway to secure compound growth, while there’s an extra cost of insurance that increases annually. The bottom line is that they’re both investment vehicles with different advantages and disadvantages.

In your opinion, what companies have the best IUL products?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

I'm more concerned with the products being structured the right way. There are 5-6 that you could make a case for. I hesitate putting what I think in the comments because things change. Quickly. DM me [e-mail] and I'll give you my thoughts.

[@vargasanhela]

Cash Value Life Insurance Reviews thank you!

[@nicholasfox540]

I mean even with a "higher commission" the end game for example 1 still pays out $610,590 more than the customer had to begin with... that doesn't sound too bad or am I missing something?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

More of a good, better, best scenario. Why give the agent more commission at the expense of the client?

[@nicholasfox540]

Gotcha thanks for the response and I agree. I don't think profit should outweigh customer needs

[@dcanaday]

@@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews So how much should an agent get paid then? Agents need and deserve to get paid, but clients need to have a reasonable premium and a policy that works for them. Where is the happy medium?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Depends on what the goal of the product is. If the goal is max cash accumulation, the agent should get paid the absolute minimum that the IRS requires. This rarely happens as most agents are extremely greedy. They think they "deserve" to be paid more. Really? How about the client DESERVES to get the best deal? It's such a "no-brainer" to me.

Hello, I love the breakdown of the UIL, I am considering on becoming an agent with National Life Group, what are your thoughts on this company?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Why be captive? Go independent and write whomever you want.

[@jasonguzman6948]

I couldn't even finish this video!! 😂🤣 cash value agents are ridiculous.... "the frees vanish" Umm no the 500 dollars. Just BUY TERM INSURANCE & INVEST THE DIFFERENCE INTO A ROTH IRA

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

I actually did a video on that. Feel free to check it out. I recommend a ROTH IRA.

Where can I get a good policy? This guy from WFG is trying to sell me an IUL. I want the best cash value I'm not to concerned with the death beni

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Stay away from WFG. They are probably recommending Transamerica? you can email me if you'd like to see some options. [e-mail]

@@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews , what's wrong with WFG, or Transamerica?

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

I've talked with hundreds of WFG reps. yes, hundreds. They seem to be some of the least educated in the industry. Which results in clients getting poorly structured policies. Transamerica has a second rate product. It's not even close.

Don't get WFG or Transamerica. There are better products than what they're selling. :)

[@LaPelotaenlaCabeza]

@@salvadorsalgado222 He said WFG is bad, that he spoke to 100's of agents. He says Pacific Life is expensive, Transamerica sucks, no answer on Nationwide and about National Life Group (who I never heard about), "it depends on what you're looking for". Does that make sense?

[@cindygameros307]

What do you think about national life group

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Hi Cindy. Depends on what you are looking for. Great living benefit riders, but they have bad loan provisions and are more expensive than others. Plus nearly all their strategies are tied to the S&P no real diversification.

[@bayareaplaya6004]

Matthew Decker if not the S&P 500 then who? Just asking. I thought the 500 was good but let me know.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

It is good. Why not have other options on top of it? Especially if better carrier offer more options.

@@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews You look like you put a lot of effort into being responsive with your viewers. Thank you for your effort! Can you explain what you mean by bad loan provisions?

I am wondering who can afford to put $30,000 in IUL every year.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

JINYANG ZHOU many people

[@susymiranda5676]

Obviously this is a product for wealthy people. But the problem is financial advisors sell this to anyone and of course when you don’t put this kind of money ($30,000) the returns are horrible. Most of the time these policy lapses by retirement age. I’haven’t seen any decent IUL policy. If you would invest your money in an IRA it would have a way better return! There are too many fees involved on the IUL. !!!

[@casperr1299]

Susylu M you’d be surprised. A lot of people who just make decent money and are sole providers of their family but maybe have a risky job like construction, will do this to make sure their family is taken care of in case of an unfortunate event. A lot of people also get insurance around 40+ so usually financially established with savings, really case by case, depends on your risk, insurance company, and state provisions & agent like the guys in the video said. Do your research forsure, at least talk to multiple agents to weigh your options. Health insurance on the other hand is different but kinda a risk worth investing sometimes considering hospital bills without insurance can put many in debt. It’s really a choice at the end of the day, insurance is just a transferring/sharing of financial risk and one that shouldn’t be chosen blindly.

The illustrations show that my policy - the guarentee colon is 50 years old but nonguarentee colon is 120 years for death benefit , so if i die after 50 years can i get death benefit face amount? please i want to know

I would need to see a copy of what you are looking at.

[@KiddDostal702]

Get rid of your IUL and get a term policy and invest your money somewhere else... You’re going to get screwed overtime.

Raul, thanks for the comment. Even though its ignorant.

Get teen it’s cheap. Lmao these people sound brainwashed. At least do your due diligence first know how both term and IUL work but people don’t do that they lazy. You just buy a car probably and not read the truth and lending portion and you’ll say no. Foh You gotta read first at least

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Right on.

[@damarcuswilson1]

if the premiums were smaller, I bet the mutual fund fee will be less

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

With a lower premium ALL fees would be less for nearly any vehicle on a dollar amount basis. Correct. The fee as a % would be almost the same.

[@CashValueLifeInsuranceReviews]

Mutual fund fees are proportionate to account size. I'm not sure what you are going for.
