Is the Retirement Gap Analysis really free?

What is a Fixed Index Annuity?

It is an insurance contract whose credited interest can be linked to a market index, that gains are limited by caps/participation rates and that surrender charges limit access. — so the contract value is not reduced by negative index performance. Annual insurance charges may apply. Guarantees are backed solely by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Whether it is suitable depends on your goals and circumstances.

What is an IUL (Indexed Universal Life)?

An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy is permanent life insurance whose cash value can grow based on a market index — subject to caps or participation rates — with a floor that limits index losses. Structured under IRC Section 7702 and kept properly in force, cash value may be accessed on a generally income-tax-free basis through policy loans. An IUL carries insurance costs and possible surrender charges, and a policy that lapses or is surrendered may create a taxable event. Whether an IUL is suitable depends on your individual circumstances.

Are you licensed in my state?

Dora works with clients nationwide — licensed where she does business and becomes licensed in each client’s state before doing business there. Let’s confirm your state during your Retirement Gap Analysis.
