Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is a category of permanent life insurance in which the policy’s cash value is linked to the performance of an external market index, such as the S&P 500. Depending on the policy design, features may include a cap (maximum credited interest rate), participation rate, floor (often 0% to protect against market losses), and premium structure that can influence policy performance and no-lapse guarantees.
