Huynh Family
Term + IUL Blend Strategy

A blended strategy pairing Term Life and Indexed Universal Life to deliver a high death benefit for a lower monthly cost, while building permanent, lifelong coverage and cash value along the way.

Mom · Permanent Coverage

Columbus Life IUL

$183,835
Death Benefit
Monthly Premium$250 / mo
Contribution PeriodAge 52 → 65
Total Contribution$42,000
Cash Value at Age 65~$45,000
Think of this like a savings account that also carries permanent, lifelong death benefit protection — it never expires as long as it's funded.

Mom · Extra Low-Cost Coverage

Symetra Term Life

$200,000
Death Benefit
Monthly Premium$60 / mo
Term Length20 Years
Cash ValueNone
This layer is pure protection — no savings component, just a lot of extra coverage for very little cost while the family needs it most (mortgage, kids, income replacement).
3
Dad · Permanent Coverage

Columbus Life IUL

$82,137
Death Benefit
Monthly Premium$250 / mo
Contribution PeriodAge 62 → 75
Total Contribution$42,000
Cash Value at Age 75~$38,000
Same $250/month as Mom's policy, but Dad starts 10 years later in life — less time for the cash value and death benefit to build, and no term option since he's past the eligibility age for it. The IUL is his only path to permanent coverage.
Living Benefits

Both policies let you access the death benefit while you're still alive if you're diagnosed with a qualifying illness. Three pieces, one benefit:

Critical Sudden, severe event Chronic Ongoing daily-life impact Terminal 12–24 mo. life expectancy
Chronic Illness
Alzheimer's / dementia, Parkinson's, needing help bathing, dressing, or eating
Critical Illness
Heart attack, stroke, invasive cancer, major organ transplant
Terminal Illness
Stage 4 cancer, ALS, end-stage organ failure

Qualifying conditions and payout amounts are defined by each carrier's contract. This is a general overview, not a complete list.

Your Cash Value, Your Choice

The cash value inside the IUL isn't locked away for one purpose — it's yours to use for anything, anytime.

Retirement Income
Supplement future income
Emergencies
Fast access when life happens
Kids' College
Help fund their education
Start a Business
Fund a new venture

Withdrawals and loans reduce the death benefit and cash value if not repaid. There's no restriction on what the money is used for.

How Indexing Works

The index (grey) moves up and down like the market always does. Your policy value (red) only moves one direction — every time the index sets a new high, your value locks in and steps up to match. When the index dips, your value just holds flat.

Market Index
Your Policy Value (Locked In)

Every red step is a gain that's locked in for good — once your value moves up, it never comes back down because of a market drop. The trade-off: a cap limits how big a single step up can be.

Simplified illustrative example, not tied to actual index values. In real terms, this is the same reason the S&P 500's worst years — 2008 (‑37%), 2018 (‑4%), 2022 (‑18%) — would have cost an indexed policy nothing. Caps and crediting terms vary by carrier and are not guaranteed.

Policy Loans

A loan isn't a withdrawal. Here's the same $50,000 and the same $20,000 taken out — once in a stock account, once as an IUL policy loan.

IUL (Loan)
Starting Balance
$50,000
$50,000
You Take Out $20,000
$20,000withdrawal (shares sold)
$20,000loan (borrowed against it)
Balance Still Growing
$30,000what's left after selling
$50,000full amount, still invested
Grows 10% Next Year
Ending Value
$33,000
$55,000
Selling $20,000 out of the stock account shrank the balance that could keep growing — it only had $30,000 left to work with. The IUL loan didn't touch the account itself, so the full $50,000 kept compounding, even with $20,000 borrowed against it.

Hypothetical example at a 10% illustrative growth rate, not guaranteed. The $20,000 loan is still owed and accrues interest — if it's not repaid, it (plus interest) comes out of the death benefit. Loan provisions vary by carrier — always confirm the exact terms in the contract.

If something unexpected happens, this death benefit is there to protect the family financially — it can pay off the mortgage, cover outstanding debts, and give the family breathing room instead of a financial crisis on top of a personal loss.
