Why IUL

How IUL Supplements AEDC Group Coverage

State group coverage provides minimal protection with no growth features. IUL adds permanent protection plus index-linked cash value accumulation, creating a third pillar of retirement planning alongside pension and 401k/403b.

Group Coverage

  • Tied to employment at AEDC
  • Coverage amount set by employer
  • Ends when you leave the company
  • No cash value or customization

Individual IUL

  • Portable — stays with you through career changes
  • Coverage amount you choose
  • Permanent protection for life
  • Builds cash value over time
