SIMPLE RETIRMENT SOLUTIONS (SRS)

Explore step-by-step training, tools, and resources to confidently offer clients smart, simple retirement solutions.

DEFINING SRS - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IULS AND ANNUITIES?

A type of permanent life insurance that offers both a death benefit and a cash value component. The cash value grows based on the performance of a market index (like the S&P 500), giving policyholders the potential for higher returns than traditional whole life insurance—while still protecting against market losses with a built-in floor. IULs offer flexibility in premium payments and death benefit amounts, making them a popular option for both protection and long-term financial planning.

IUL:

ANNUITY:

A financial product offered by insurance companies that provides a stream of income, typically for retirement. In exchange for a lump sum or series of payments, the annuity pays out money over time—either for a set period or for the rest of your life. Annuities can be fixed, variable, or indexed, and are often used to create a reliable income stream, grow savings tax-deferred, and provide protection against outliving your money.
