What is indexed universal life insurance (IUL)?

Quick answer

Indexed universal life insurance (IUL) is a permanent life insurance policy with a cash value component that earns interest based on the performance of a market index (like the S&P 500), subject to a cap and floor. The floor (typically 0-1%) protects you from market losses, while the cap limits your upside.
