The Problem
Many parents rely on traditional savings methods like CDs, savings accounts, or IRAs for their children’s futures. While these options can be effective for short-term savings, they often lack:
Growth Potential: CDs and savings accounts offer low returns, often under 2%, and are fully taxable.
Flexibility: IRAs require earned income for contributions and penalize early withdrawals.
Lifetime Benefits: These options don’t provide financial protection or tax-advantaged growth over a lifetime.
Juvenile IULs address these gaps by offering a combination of financial security and long-term growth.
Impact of the Problem
Let’s explore how two hypothetical cases illustrate the potential of juvenile IULs:
Case Study: Liam, Age 9
Policy Details: $175/month premium for a $350,000 death benefit.
Projected Cash Value by Age 30: ~$105,000 (at 7.25% growth, non-guaranteed).
Comparison to CDs: A 2% interest rate on the same $175/month yields ~$45,500 over 18 years, taxable.
Living Benefits: If Liam experiences a critical or chronic illness, the policy provides accelerated benefits to cover costs without disrupting family savings.
Case Study: Maya, Age 6
Policy Details: $175/month premium for a $350,000 death benefit.
Projected Cash Value by Age 30: ~$110,000 (at 7% growth, non-guaranteed).
IRA Comparison: IRAs require earned income, and early withdrawals before 59½ incur penalties.
Flexibility Advantage: Maya’s policy allows tax-free access to cash value for education, a first home, or starting a business—no penalties involved.
Conclusion
By starting an IUL policy early, families can take advantage of low premiums, decades of compounding growth, and financial flexibility. Unlike traditional savings vehicles, juvenile IULs provide both security and growth, making them a powerful tool for building a financial legacy.
