Quick Answers

Frequently asked questions.

How much life insurance do I actually need?+

A good rule of thumb is 10–15x your annual income, adjusted for debts, dependents, and lifestyle goals. We'll walk you through a needs analysis.

What's the difference between term and permanent coverage?+

Term covers you for a set period at a low cost. Permanent (whole life, IUL) covers you for life and builds cash value you can use.

How does an IUL grow money tax-deferred?+

Cash value in an IUL grows based on a market index without direct market losses, and qualified withdrawals via policy loans can be tax-free.

Can annuities really pay income for life?+

Yes — a lifetime income annuity converts a lump sum into guaranteed monthly payments you can't outlive.
