IUL vs Whole Life, Sequence of Returns, Sequence of Returns, And Indexing 101 (Episode 29)

Doug Andrew and his team dive into the “93 Million” principle, blending Foundational, Intellectual, and Financial assets with the power of a max-funded Indexed Universal Life (IUL). Learn why going beyond products (the clubs) and focusing on strategies (the swing) leads to abundant, tax-free retirement outcomes.

Uncover how IUL’s zero-percent floor, lock-in, and annual reset preserve what you’ve built from market downturns—then capture growth. See why sequence of returns devastates “average return” plans and how indexing reframes the math in your favor.

This episode reveals:

- The math behind drawdowns—and why zero can be a hero

- How IUL vs Whole Life compares on IRR, costs, and tax-free income

- Real-world rebound years after crashes and what “reset” really means

If you want tax advantages, compounding, and peace of mind, the L.A.S.E.R. Fund framework can transform your future.
