In St. Louis County, Missouri, which sits just outside the city of St. Louis and is the most populous county in the state, indexed universal life insurance tends to attract people who want permanent coverage with more flexibility than whole life and are willing to learn how the moving parts work. Carriers can generally adjust caps and participation rates over time within contract limits, which affects future crediting. If the mortgage is the biggest bill in your household, indexed universal life insurance can be sized so the balance could be paid down or kept current if your income stopped. Index credits are usually subject to a cap, a participation rate, or both, which limit how much of an index gain is credited. Business owners in St. Louis County may consider IUL for premiums that can be adjusted, within policy limits, as business income changes.
