Although IUL has conditioned us to think of Executive Bonus as a cash accumulation product that is certainly not always the case. Many executive bonuses simply provide the executive with a life insurance benefit for their family while they are employed by the company.  A term policy can provide a valuable benefit at a low cost.

It’s not just lost income that can impact a family at an untimely death. It can also be the value of the lost benefits they were providing.  Again, term coverage can be an effectively priced way to meet this need.
