Protect Your Family While Building Financial Flexibility

What if your life insurance could do more than just protect your loved ones?
What if it could also help you build cash value, grow tax-advantaged funds, and create financial flexibility?

That’s exactly what Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance is designed to do.

What Is an IUL?

An IUL is a type of permanent life insurance that:

• Provides lifelong protection
  
• Builds cash value over time
  
• Links growth potential to a market index (without direct market risk)

Your cash value has the opportunity to grow when the market performs well—while being protected from market downturns.

Why People Choose IUL

Many families and professionals use IULs to:

• Supplement retirement income
  
• Build tax-advantaged savings
  Create an accessible financial safety net
  
• Protect their family at the same time
  

Unlike traditional savings or investments, an IUL offers flexibility, protection, and growth in one solution.

Protection Comes First

Even while your cash value grows, your primary benefit remains:

• Life insurance protection
  
• Living benefits for illness or injury
  
• Long-term financial security
  

This combination makes IULs a powerful option for those who want more than just a basic policy.

Is an IUL Right for You?

An IUL is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It works best when:

• Designed properly
  
• Funded intentionally
  
• Aligned with your long-term goals
  

That’s why at Vandj Life, we focus on education first—so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
