Description

Discover how indexing inside IUL can replace panic with a plan. Doug Andrew’s team unpacks zero floors, annual resets, and locked-in gains—so you avoid losses while still capturing rebounds. See why buy-and-hold often beats timers, and how IUL adds a disciplined, tax-advantaged engine to your retirement.





Uncover how tax diversification—shifting from taxable and tax-deferred to tax-free—helps you prepare for potential higher future taxes. Then watch the numbers: real IUL costs, IRR, caps, and participation rates, plus a live client statement showing fees versus credited interest.





This episode reveals:





- Why timing fails and emotions hurt investor outcomes


- How IUL’s zero floor and reset lock in prior gains


- The mechanics of caps, participation, and multi-year strategies


- What IUL really costs—and how design changes everything





Whether you want downside protection, tax-free income, or a retirement plan you can stick to, these insights show how properly structured IUL can steady your path.
