Questions from Los Angeles
How does the 0% floor work in an IUL?
On many eligible index strategies, when the linked index has a negative return over the crediting period, the insurer may credit 0% interest rather than a negative index return. Your actual results depend on the carrier contract, caps, fees, and how the policy is funded.
Is it worth getting a quote if I live in Los Angeles?
Life insurance prices depend on your age, health and the coverage you choose, not your city, so a Los Angeles resident generally pays the same rate as anyone else in California with the same profile. You can compare prices online in a few minutes on our quote page.
