    11:36 Well when you take a loan on a policy you have the option to take a fixed loan say 3% and the company will charge you the same amount. You can also use a participating loan where you can get full exposure to cap and floor. It is much more flexible than whole life and you can get a fixed account just like whole life. The problem isn't the product its just how most agents structure it. It can be the best thing you own or the worst thing you own.

    I'm a big fan of Garrett Gunderson, BUT I'm also an even bigger, loyal fan of DOUG ANDREW, and his proven methods regarding max-funded, Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance. I have reviewed Doug Andrew's case studies closely, and spoken to some people who have used them. It is my professional opinion is that Garrett's presentation of this topic is well-intentioned, but flawed. These two are saying the equivalent of if someone structures a real estate deal wrong and loses money, that ALL real estate deals are therefore bad investments.

    @@astroman30 My friend, if someone encounters high fees + commissions, this is because the "design" of the policy itself (meaning how it is mathematically structured) was intentionally designed wrongly, and this was done by the individual agent who presented and sold it to you. He/she was too greedy, and not honest. About capped gains, the Laws of Mathematics don't allow for a vehicle that can provide ZERO possibility of market loss risk, while also having unlimited upside risk, in the same investment. Your investment would have to create money out of thin air, to accomplish this!

    ​@@Visionary0001Well Sport, over 90% of long term (5 years or more) good growth mutual funds have made money with NO capped gains. Keep in mind, very little (like none) of the cash value in an IUL is actually invested in the stock market. You can't even get a GUARANTEE from the insurance company that it actually gets invested. Most of the time, the client/victim receives about 2% ROI which is garbage. Hence, it's less than the rate of inflation. Also, with all the fees/commissions tied to this trash value policy, the cash value dries up leaving the client/victim out of pocket costs to cover the term policy that increases every year. So, you "ZERO possibility of loss" doesn't hold much water does it? Don't act like it's the agent's fault of this type of policy. We all have seen behind the curtain of OZ and KNOW how this nonsense operates. This is the way ALL of the policies are designed by the providers. I have NEVER seen an IUL policy that wasn't riddled with ridiculous high fees/commissions. This is why so many get out of it paying a "surrender" fee and cut their losses. Seriously, why would you ever want an insurance company to invest your money in the "stock market?" Try harder.

    There is an IULs that has no caps with a proprietary index that is well diversified to be very safe and has performed unbelievable in the last 10 years. They actually have raised the uncapped participation rate while other companies are lowering rates like you are referring. In addition, what about the fact that the cost of insurances is much lower and death benefit higher than a whole life to start. How about comparing the cost of insurance as a lifetime cost? The gains can very well offset that. Also, if you have a great company, that is a mutual company, their job is to keep the cost of insurance down. The same company that offers the best IUL also offers whole life.

    You simply have to know what you're getting. A lot of investors in real estate syndications like to use indexed universal life policies as a place to park cash between real estate deals, and they explicitly compare those insurance policies to savings accounts, not to investment portfolios. If your goal is to benefit from long-term stock market gains, then obviously these guys are correct: eliminating the downside and eliminating the cap, i.e., by just investing directly in the stock market, would generate better returns.

    @@Unplugged704 You see those words without an answer because people say something to try and attract views without knowing what they are talking about. Agents like to sell a policy to make a commission, and talk about certain things in a policy. IF structured properly, in here goes, a policy that accumulates equity purchases units in sub accounts. Those units can also be sold to pay for insurance costs. Problem is that money if put in at a market high, and taken from that same equity when unit values are down, it takes more units to pay insurance costs. Buying high and selling low. Putting money into a daily interest account in the policy, along with the more aggressive sub accounts can make a huge difference. A daily interest account doesn't climb or fall, putting enough money into a daily interest account each time to cover insurance premiums, will remove this problem. Investing the remaining amount into sub accounts will help money increase in value. No units would be sold, just bought, you would be dollar cost averaging into the policy, and holding the units for years. If you look at a policy illustration, see that premiums are 20 or 30 years. A decent policy won't try and load money into it within a few years. To put more money into a policy within a few years, a benefit needs to be higher, and if the benefit is higher, the commission is more. Agents like to try and sell the idea of a paid up policy in 8 years. That might mean 2 or 3 times the benefit, meaning higher commission. Looking for a policy that includes benefit and account values when paid out is an option. Looking at final plans is a good idea, most people can save lots of money by beginning to pay on them.

I didn’t see anything about an increase in premiums. The catch was the policy had no cash value and if the customer missed their premium, they couldn’t rely on cash value to bail them out.

The solvency of Ins companies as I understand it more a function of them acting as a bank. Similar to fractional reserve lending. They only need to be solvent (liquid) to cover near term liabilities, near term deaths, and predicting death is what they are experts at. As far as financial modeling goes I’m not very sophisticated in that. However my intuition is that the death benefit models are more dependent on age and premiums as variables than market forecasting. Because insurance companies’ revenue is stable and held long term, as opposed to brokerage accts which suffer from drawdowns and inconsistent contributions, ins cos don’t need impressive returns to maintain solvency.

    You're missing the point 6of you think that's the argument being made. A properly structured whole life policy is not just for a growing cash value but it does so many other things with the living benefits and the policy loan feature.

    A lot of good points/questions. However, there are several things you guys say that is not necessarily true as well. Can't really label the video "Everything you need to know" if you if you personally don't know everything about it. Also, it really comes down to the industry. It's not the product/company, it's the agent that sold it. There was a time where whole life left a bad taste in everyone's mouth too. A lot of people have been "screwed over" by whole life agents as well.

    There are quite a few industry agents that have started policies with as little as 100 dollars a month, some even less, when they were essentially broke. But really an IBC policy isn't going to magically fix all your monetary problems fast, especially not with low investment, it might show some use in a few years certainly, buts its not a get rich quick scheme. Its part of mindset and habit changes that further build the groundwork for financial stability that then leads to wealth. Realistically if you're in a broke family of 6 then there's probably several other problems, mindset changes, and budgeting issues you're going to need to address in tandem, and its very difficult to know what or how much this option will help you when all that is known is "I'm broke". These kinds of policies are not one size fits all, they need to be catered to you and your needs/situation.

    What I don't understand with UL and WL, is all that cash value built up and the beneficiary does NOT get it when the policy pays out, only the original death benefit. Example...Buy $500K WL for years with $200K cash value. Insure dies, but the beneficiary receives onky the $500K..not the $200K. Am I wrong?

    Hi, I have very superficial understanding of what you guys are talking about but I hope someone can help answer my question please. Currently, my advisor offered me Canada Life's Universal Life insurance. It's 20 years to pay for almost $100/month and coverage is 100K. My understanding is that the moment I sign up, and for example, I die the next day (knock on wood), my beneficiary will get the 100k coverage. Is that correct? Based on my understanding on your video, it seems that's not the case????

    If you have a $100k death benefit then you are correct, if (sadly) you died tomorrow, your beneficiaries would get the $100k. This is more of a conversation about cash accumulation inside the policy and if you are indeed using it for that purpose, IUL's sales practices are deceptive.

    Ya well...when you've delivered a few life insurance death benefit checks and saved families from utter financial ruin, you might see things differently. My own wife has had 3 brain tumors and is totally disabled. I have the same plan in place on her as I do with my clients - she never has to work another day in her life, her life insurance is now fully paid for, and increases in death benefit every 3 years regardless of her health - and the insurance company is paying the premiums on the increases. These products are first and foremost life insurance - and should be sold to people who need it.

    This guy does not understand the need for insurance. What is his option buy term and invest the difference? What happens to your term policy if you live into your 60s? Easy it becomes 7 times more expensive and you lapse the policy. Then you have no life insurance protection. If you get a smaller IUL policy say 250 k it is very easy to pay until you pass away. This guy is pretending to have knowledge he does not have.
