I’ve come across articles listing 10 reasons why IUL is a bad investment.
Are these claims accurate, or does it depend on financial goals?
Would love insights from anyone who has researched IUL policies.
 
Yes. mainly because the fees are very high and the upside is limited. After taking into account the caps on returns, no dividends, and your insurance getting more expensive as you get older, the math very rarely works out better than a simple index fund. It is almost always more advantageous to purchase term insurance and use the money saved for investing yourself.
