Secure HorizonSM IUL
Ease your way through all life’s stages
It’s important to plan for the unexpected and for many, life insurance can be an important part of that plan. It can leave a death benefit if the unthinkable were to happen and address a possible legacy shortfall. Beyond planning for loved ones, North American Secure Horizon Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL) offers a suite of benefits to address the financial challenges you may face throughout various stages of your life. It’s designed to help:
Cash Value
Accumulation
IUL provides the opportunity to build long-term cash value by earning interest that is linked to either a fixed account or an index account. Although performance is linked to the growth of an index, your premium is not actually invested in the market or in the applicable index.
Tax-Free
Income1
The cash value can be used to help create retirement income. Whether your goal is to supplement retirement income, create guaranteed tax-free income for life, or take a once-in-a-lifetime trip, an IUL is flexible enough to meet a variety of income needs.
Protection from Risks in Retirement
The SecureStage Supplemental Benefits EndorsementSM is powered by an industry-first Longevity Benefit Base, referred to as the Benefit Base in the policy, that is adjusted by 150% of your net credited interest2 and can be used for any of the three available benefits.
What is indexed universal life insurance?
Indexed universal life (IUL) insurance combines the death benefit protection of permanent life insurance with the potential for cash value growth linked to the performance of an underlying market index. The death benefit proceeds of your policy are generally transferred tax-free to your beneficiaries.
While IUL policies offer tax-deferred3 cash value growth potential, the premium is not invested directly in the market and is 100% protected from market loss.
1 Policy loans and withdrawals from life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax, provided the contract is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), as defined by section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. A policy loan or withdrawal from a life insurance policy that is a MEC is taxable upon receipt to the extent cash value of the contract exceeds premium paid. Distributions from MECs are subject to federal income tax to the extent of the gain in the policy and taxable distributions are subject to a 10% additional tax prior to age 59 1/2, with certain exceptions. Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce cash value and death benefit. Policy loans are subject to interest charges. Consult with and rely on your tax advisor or attorney on your specific situation. Income and growth on accumulated cash values is generally taxable only upon withdrawal. Adverse tax consequences may result if withdrawals exceed premiums paid into the policy. Withdrawals or surrenders made during a surrender charge period will be subject to surrender charges and may reduce the ultimate death benefit and cash value. Surrender charges vary by product, issue age, sex, underwriting class, and policy year.
2 Credited interest is any Index Credit and interest credit minus Index Credit and interest credit attributed to Interest Bonus on Fixed Interest Participating Loans.
3 The tax-deferred feature of the indexed universal life policy is not necessary for a tax-qualified plan. In such instances, you should consider whether other features, such as the death benefit and optional riders make the policy appropriate for your needs. Before purchasing this policy, you should obtain competent tax advice both as to the tax treatment of the policy and the suitability of the product.
Neither North American nor its agents give legal or tax advice. Please consult with and rely on a qualified legal or tax advisor before entering into or paying additional premiums with respect to such arrangements.
Indexed universal life products are not an investment in the “market” or in the applicable index and are subject to all policy fees and charges normally associated with most universal life insurance.
TEXAS RESIDENTS: Receipt of acceleration-of-life-insurance benefits may affect your, your spouse’s or your family’s eligibility for public assistance programs such as medical assistance (Medicaid), Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), supplementary social security income (SSI), and drug assistance programs. You are advised to consult with a qualified tax advisor and with social service agencies concerning how receipt of such a payment will affect your, your spouse’s, and your family’s eligibility for public assistance.
Life insurance policies have terms under which the policy may be continued in force or discontinued. Current cost of insurance rates and interest rates are not guaranteed. Therefore, the planned periodic premium may not be sufficient to carry the contract to maturity. The Index Accounts are subject to caps, participation and spread rates. In no case will the interest credited be less than 0 percent. Please refer to the customized illustration provided by your agent for additional detail. The policy’s death benefit is paid upon the death of the insured. The policy does not continue to accumulate cash value and excess interest after the insured’s death.

The term financial professional is not intended to imply engagement in an advisory business in which compensation is not related to sales. Financial professionals that are insurance licensed will be paid a commission on the sale of an insurance product.
