At Lions Ascent, we specialize in building smart, strategic life insurance plans designed for lasting impact. Our Indexed Universal Life (IUL) strategies offer a powerful combination of protection, tax advantages, and long-term growth potential designed around your goals, not just a policy.
🧩 What Is an IUL?
An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy is a type of life insurance that not only provides a death benefit to protect your loved ones, but also lets you build cash value over time. That cash value can grow based on the performance of a market index (like the S&P 500), but your money is never directly invested in the market, which means your principal is protected from losses.
Over time, you can access that cash value tax-free to help supplement retirement income, fund future goals, or handle unexpected expenses—all while still keeping life insurance in place.
Grow your wealth while protecting what matters most.
IULs offer the unique ability to grow your cash value based on market index performance—without direct market exposure. With tax-deferred growth, tax-free withdrawals via policy loans, and a built-in death benefit, they’re one of the most versatile tools in modern financial planning.
We don’t sell policies, we craft personalized strategies.
With years of experience and a deep commitment to integrity, our team designs each IUL plan with care and precision. We work only with top-rated carriers and structure every policy to minimize cost, maximize cash value, and ensure long-term sustainability.
Custom-tailored for your future.
Whether you’re focused on retirement income, tax-free wealth access, or legacy planning, our IUL strategies adapt to your life. We don’t do one-size-fits-all—every solution is aligned with your needs, risk tolerance, and long-term vision.
Capture the upside, avoid the downside.
Our IULs use market indexes to credit interest to your policy so you can benefit from market growth without risking loss in down years. It’s a smarter, safer way to grow wealth with predictability and peace of mind.
Leave more, with less tax.
IULs are an excellent tool for passing wealth efficiently and privately to the next generation. We help you strategically design your policy to align with estate goals, minimize tax burdens, and create lasting impact for your loved ones.
A clear path from consultation to implementation.
