What's right depends on the individual's financial situation, lifestyle, and risk tolerance. In all seriousness, Index Universal Life insurance policies can be an opportunity to guard your family’s future against financial uncertainties while having the potential for market-linked growth.

🔓 Unlocking Hidden Value: Policy Auctions in Life Settlements: Life insurance is often an overlooked asset, representing the largest unmanaged financial resource that many clients possess. Countless individuals continue to pay premiums on policies long after the original need for coverage has been diminished or has even disappeared – leaving clients feeling uncertain about the value of their policies, especially after traditional evaluations or discussions about non-forfeiture options like surrendering the policy or reducing coverage have been made. However, by increasing awareness of the life settlement market alternative, clients can discover new financial avenues (and their advisory team members can reduce liability risks for themselves). Simply asking clients the straightforward question, "When was your life insurance policy last appraised?" can ignite essential planning conversations that often reveal opportunities for greater financial flexibility.
