WoodmenLife Launches My Choice IUL
WoodmenLife recently launched a new product, My Choice Indexed Universal Life (IUL), offering protection for families while securing their financial futures. This flexible life insurance product has the potential to build cash value that can be accessed when it’s needed most. The product can be right for families in all stages of life — including just starting their family, in the midst of their career wanting to save for the future, or enjoying their retirement and wanting to leave a legacy.
My Choice IUL® is a life insurance product that provides permanent coverage while offering the opportunity to grow cash value over time through two types of accounts or a combination of both. The indexed account is linked to the performance of the S&P 500® Index1 (excluding dividends) over a specific time period, up to a maximum cap rate. The fixed account earns interest at a competitive, current interest rate that will never be lower than the minimum guaranteed interest rate, allowing the consumer to be as conservative as they choose.
With the purchase of My Choice IUL, consumers also gain access to member extras including the ability to apply for the WoodmenLife Focus Forward Scholarship®. Since the scholarship program’s launch in 2017, the organization has awarded 2,475 scholarships worth $1.4 million.
WoodmenLife President & CEO Patrick L. Dees said, “After much anticipation, I’m proud to spearhead the launch of such a game changer. There are many indexed universal life products on the market, but few were built with this kind of simplicity in mind. With just two account options, consumers can choose to grow their funds in either one or a combination of both.”
The fixed account offers the opportunity for steady, stable growth. The indexed account offers a guaranteed 0% floor, which is backed by the claims-paying ability of WoodmenLife. This means that consumers will not lose cash value because of market-based losses.
