Cash Accumulation & Retirement Strategies

Beyond protection, certain life insurance policies and annuities are designed to help you build long-term savings. We help you understand how these strategies work, what they cost, and where they may — or may not — fit alongside your retirement plans.

Who it's for

Protection shaped around the life you're building.

Savers and earners who have maxed out — or want to diversify beyond — employer plans, families building tax-advantaged savings, and anyone curious about how permanent life insurance or annuities could complement their retirement income.

How we help

Permanent coverage with cash value

Whole life and indexed universal life (IUL) policies include a cash value component. Growth terms differ by policy: whole life crediting is stated in the contract, while IUL crediting is tied in part to a market index and is subject to caps, participation rates, fees and contract terms.

Annuities for retirement income

Annuities are insurance contracts designed to help savings grow and, later, create a stream of income. Terms, surrender periods and guarantees vary significantly by product — we walk you through them before anything is signed.

Tax treatment, explained plainly

Cash value growth within these policies is generally tax-deferred, and policy features may allow access in certain ways. Tax treatment depends on your situation and how the policy is used — we don't give tax or legal advice; consult a qualified tax professional.

An honest fit assessment

These strategies involve long-term commitments, fees and possible surrender charges. We'll tell you plainly when a 401(k), IRA or savings account is the better first step.

Annuities and life insurance are long-term commitments that may include fees, surrender charges and market-based risk. Indexed policy crediting is not a market investment and may not reflect index performance. Guarantees depend on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer and the terms of the actual contract.
