你上当了!
Your honest comments tell me you missed the point of all the IUL discussion
- you cannot just look at IUL's performance itself and say, this is a good
or bad product.
You need to have a benchmark to judge IUL, and a fair one is Term+Index ETF
(let's call this option 2).
1) You already pointed out IUL's fee, do you know how low the fee in option
2 is? You might think the difference in each year is small, but... 阅读全帖 |

c********t 发帖数: 351 | 4 下面画了张图,
1)IUL是代理给我的通过软件计算出来的,假设年收益率为8.67%。这个8.67%的数据是
过去20年通过IUL方式算出来的平均值。保险的cash value是减掉所有费用后的属于我
的钱。
2)我自己用同样的钱来投资,前三十年每年付了550的保险费用。每年收益仍然是8.67
%,同时交掉了35%的税。
3)total premium是我自己付的钱。
解释一下我所能想到的东西
1) whole life里面有各种隐藏费用--
但是下图IUL里面是cash value,已经刨除了各种费用。
2)IUL的收益没有那么高,在外面投资收益可能更高--
a)8.67%是过去20年平均值算出来的。
b)IUL的floor-cap的方式应该比外面的投资收益高。我记得看过数据说东京指数30年没
有什么变
化,但IUL方式算出来平均年增长为5%左右。SP500过去的十年增长也不高,IUL方式算
出来
的也在6.5%。
3)退休帐号里面的钱也不用交税,所以不应该减除35%税率--
IUL和退休帐号不应该是一个概念。IUL里面的应该是IRA之后额外投资的钱,可以随时
拿出来,放回去。

Let's say you bought $500K IUL, and year after year your contribution to it

will be getting at that time? Very little, for example, only about $50K.

c*********g 发帖数: 154 | 6 先回答你关于ROR的问题吧。ROR可用于比较不同投资方案的收益率,在金融界早已人所
共知,但在大家的帖子里我看到得比较少,所以就连带科普一下吧。另外不同投资方案
可能很难做到投资的schedule都一样,这时候用未来某时刻的cash value来比较就变成
不可能。比如说,有一笔钱,是用来买投资房咧还是放在股市?投资房有cash flow,
那么未来的cash value跟放股市就不可比了。在我所讨论的这三种方案中,term+VFINX
跟IUL或者term+VFINX跟WL的schedule可以做到一样,但WL跟IUL就很难做到一样。用
ROR才能更清楚更公平的把三种方案放在一起进行比较。另外我说我不是Excel guy,不
是想说我自己不会算,这点你可能误会了。
1. 在我没有跑我的程序之前,没有实实在在的数据支持,我没法直接做你这个泛化到
所有情况的论断。因为如我在原帖说的那样,税率(income tax rate & capital gain

g******y 发帖数: 140 | 8 可以确切的说,1)IUL的增长低于股市,2)IUL本身就不是投资型产品,如果一个保险
经纪人告诉你IUL是用来投资的话,可能他在误导你。3)本质上他们是不同的金融产品
,不能够进行比较。IUL的定位应该是具有良好现金累积功能的终身保险
当然,你的留言是关心“投资回报”。我们也可以就这个进行一些分析。
1) IUL的产品设计是这样的,一个保底(0%),一个封顶(打比方12%)。打个比方
,如果index上涨为18%,客户一能够得到封顶的12%; 如果是6%,客户得到6%;如果股
市大跌,客户一定得到0%;保证不赔。目前市场上IUL产品近10年的平均汇报在8-9%。
这个回报,在股市表现良好的情况下,是一定能够得到的。但就股市而言,即便股市表
现良好,大部分人仍然得不到相应得回报。说不定你手里的几只股票的增长还低于5%,
甚至还在赔呢。
2) 说IUL具有良好的现金累积功能,关键在于其保底的功能,不丢钱实际上是投资
的第一要素。当然。保底不丢球的“代价“是产品的回报有”cap”。还有一点是现金
的累积是免税的,是一个滚雪球式的复利结构。

d*g 发帖数: 62 | 9 最近在想着买人身保险,然后就听说了IUL。
我在本版读了一下前面的贴子,好象大家都不推荐的样子。
我自己分析了一下,觉得没有象有些人说的那样--这是个骗局啊
我想知道它的trick究竟在哪里。
以下面做的例子来看:
1. 在term有效期间过逝(前20年内),自己投资更好。term和IUL都有50万,
但IUL的cash value是拿不到的,而自己投资的钱还能拿到
2. 如果过了20年,觉得IUL应该更好。IUL的cash value是免税的。
在40年的时候,虽然自己投资是87万, IUL是74万,但这87万一交税就会少于74万。
Agent说在IUL里的钱拿出来是不用交税的,是这样的吗?
如果是的话,这个好处还是很有吸引力的。
它的trick有啥?我想了一下:
1. 这种公司容易倒闭吗?如果一倒,自己的投资就打水漂了。
2. 它有个上限是12%
3. 它有投资回报在[0%, 12%]之间,以S&P500为指标, 我对这个怀疑最大。
我觉得它不可能真的按S&P500来。如果只给个2%或者3%的话,IUL就远不好自己投资

你认为费用很高呢? 7年以后基本上不用再往里放钱后,那点费用基本可忽略了吧?
2.IUL本来就是根据INDEX的增长给你利息,你没有股票,当然不会有DIVIDENT.
3. IUL帐号里的钱是免税的,这应该是最大的优点了。
4.IUL另一个好处是不怕股市大跌,longterm 的平均年收益要于股票吧,特别是近13年。
用了一年的IUL,几天刚看了statement,INDEX account去年的interest rate是13.25%
(lock rate),觉得很满意了。当然过去一年是牛市,股票收益会更多,但从投资多元化,

还是有点糊涂,IUL的floor-cap机制不是应该让return高么。最简单的例子,我在2013
年已经投入了所有的钱,
假设指数
2013: 1800
2014: 1500
2015:1800
指数基金应该是没有return。IUL为1% (2013-2014跌16%,floor)+13.5%(2013-2014涨20
%,cap)
换句话说,对于一个波动的,但不上涨的市场,IUL应该优势非常大啊。
还有,IUL为啥要做dollar cost averaging?肯定是放的越多越好,floor-cap机制应该
能够保护自己的资产。
最后,为什么你认为IUL expense too high呢?按照规定,只有最开始八年的admin
fee ,以及放钱的6%,20元的管理费而已。莫非还有别的隐藏费用? |

IUL年收益100% match S&P with ceiling [0%, 12%]
1. 如果只考虑第一年投入的钱($1), 30年后
SP with div: $17.31
IUL: $8.24
2. 考虑每年投入相同数量的钱($1)买, 30年后
SP with div: $152.14
IUL: $110.34
3. 不考虑dividend, 只考虑第一年投入的钱($1), 30年后
SP w/o div: $10.12 (8.02%)
IUL: $8.24 (7.29%)
看起来IUL不是什么好的投资方式, 如果再考虑到他家各种高额fee的话

With Term + low cost investment, your after-tax cash value will be always
better than the IUL's cash value build up, especially this is after Term
life expiration, which is at least 20 or 30 years later!
What if I die in 5 years? Well, you will get Term payout, plus your own

whole life相当,只要没意外没老死,保费就白交了。投资部分有上限,好像1M保额是
25万?有一次性6%费用,另外每年有1.5%费用。
:可以确切的说,1)IUL的增长低于股市,2)IUL本身就不是投资型产品,如果一个保
险经纪人告诉你IUL是用来投资的话,可能他在误导你。3)本质上他们是不同的金融产
品,不能够进行比较。IUL的定位应该是具有良好现金累积功能的终身保险
:当然,你的留言是关心“投资回报”。我们也可以就这个进行一些分析。 |

风险大,回报大;风险小,回报小。这应该是common sense吧。IUL能
保证不丢钱,你再指望它跟着行情能上不能下,这样可能吗?保险公司
不是活雷锋,也要生存,好处你都占,它垮了最后你又能得到什么?
IUL的别的好处怎么没人看到?它首先是个保险,保个平安,国内的家庭
因为一人出事,整个家就散了的事还看的少吗?网上不是还时常能看到
号召大家给出了事的家庭捐钱吗?孤儿寡母的如果有保险,至少人走了
生活不会因此就陷入窘迫吧。人总是要有些责任心的,不是吗?
另外,IUL还有税的好处,钱增长和用起来不交税。
IUL不是perfect的,perfect的东西不存在,但它还是能满足不少需要的,
就看你是怎么想的。 |

s********z 发帖数: 35 | 35 多谢斑竹回复.仔细看了一下IUL的条款,好像确实可以有一段时间可以quit.
还有一点不太明白,为什么IUL对工薪阶层不是一种好的投资方式.我准备买IUL是作为长
期投资的,我明白如果在前几年就退出的话,会有挺大的损失.但如果作为一种长期投资,
譬如15年,是不是值得买呢?如果不值得买,是因为以下的原因吗?
1) 公司不可靠,不知道15年后投资的钱是否还能得到保障.
2) 相比其他投资方式,IUL并不能提供好的收益.
3) cash surrender 太高,或者其它的我们不知道的hidden charge?到时候必须不断地
向里面加钱,还很难取出来用?变成鸡肋?

S*******s 发帖数: 10098 | 37 IUL涉及很多未知数,在纸上画大饼;跟Participating whole life是参股各类实体企
业的情况正相反。
关于未来30年S&P 500到底怎样(全球化步伐使得历史数据更难以推测未来return)?
关于发行IUL的insurance companies到底如何截取一段一段的‘胡萝卜'去credit它们
的投保人?
我希望在20年后啊。这画的大饼还真能用来充饥呢.
声明: 本人不反对新生事物,况且我自己还有机会去赚IUL大利呢?
那么, 为什么我不推荐IUL? 因为它 involves bunch of assumptions.
保险关注的是客户的家人,在bread winner病残老的情况下,他们的孩子大人需要维持
生计。因此"certainty"对于一个family是首要考虑。 |

c********t 发帖数: 351 | 38 谢谢redsim的介绍。
但还是不明白你的推理,你一直在讲IUL cost有多高。我首页的两张图,已经减掉IUL
的各种费用了啊。但长期来看,IUL明显比after tax的投资要好。
到最后还是简单的比较
IUL cap-floor的计算的收益率比较ETF+dividend哪个高
有历史数据看看就好了
现在变的更疑惑了,钱往哪里投啊?

p******g 发帖数: 15 | 39 redism, you are 100% correct. the problem with IUL is its high costs. long
term return doesn't come close to term + index.
bummer
Actually, IUL's works by hedging the equity risk using options. as we know,
dividends are priced into the option price. so IUL will not miss out on
dividends. it's implicitly included in the returns.
In theory, IUL could work. it's basically a combination of fixed income and
options. but you need to understand the risks, especially interest rate risk

s********n 发帖数: 1962 | 42 看置顶。IUL 跟 VUL 差不多。区别是 IUL 把你的钱投资到 index fund 里面,
同时一般有一个 return floor and ceiling. 从骗钱的角度说,两者的骗法
是一样的:charge you very high management fee at each and every
possible level. 从投资的角度说,indexed fund with floor and ceiling
is a bad idea over long run. 从这个角度说,IUL 比 VUL 还要糟糕。 |

r****m 发帖数: 1204 | 44 Do a simple comparison you will see why IUL doesn't fit for most middle
class families -
IUL (option 1) vs. Term + Index ETF (option 2)
You can test with any past 30 years actual historical annual return data , I
am positive option 2 will be at least 15%, if not more, better than option
1 - based on after-tax numbers (most people became too excited when they saw
something that could save them tax and forget to ask: could my cost
outweigh my savings?)

r****m 发帖数: 1204 | 45 Two problems with IUL:
1) IUL's return is lower than Index ETF for sure, because lack of dividend
payout.
2) Expense too high.
As long as you are dollar cost averaging in investing in index, you will be
fine (yes, even in the Japanese market), because if not, all your other bets
will be a lot worse.
It's all about relativity, you can't say a product is good or bad by
evaluating the product itself, you need to ask - do I have a better
alternative? And here I am telling you an absolutely better o... 阅读全帖 |

r****m 发帖数: 1204 | 46 IUL为啥要做dollar cost averaging?
>> 2 reasons:
a) There is 7-pay limitation on IUL, you can't invest a lot one-time.
b) In the long term, index will go up, but in the short term, it has
fluctuations, so you better DCA because nobody knows when is the peak and
when is the trough.
为什么你认为IUL expense too high呢?按照规定,只有最开始八年的admin
fee ,以及放钱的6%,20元的管理费而已。

r****m 发帖数: 1204 | 47 1. cash value of insurance 不算在计算的财产范围之内 - always true
2. 有利于申请到奖学金 - partially true with conditions
3. 比529计划要好 - wrong
Now I will explain why 2 is partially true and why 3 is just plain wrong
using some numbers.
My assumption will be based on a typical middle class family's situation,
numbers might be rough but hopefully you get the point.
If you have planned to save $10K per year to 529 plan over 10 years, at the
time when you need it, assume it grows to $150K.

r****m 发帖数: 1204 | 48 "假设未来20年只波动,但不增长。IUL的回报会比普通的投资多。"
This statement is too vague, it's best to let numbers talk.
But even from a qualitative perspective, in a flat market, as long as the
market fluctuates, and as long as you do dollar cost averaging, your low
cost investment should still beat IUL, for two key reasons -
1) the IUL's initial years' costs are simply too high, it offsets any
benefits brought by it;
2) in a down market, your investment will have more purchasing power! |

r****5 发帖数: 618 | 49 IUL 绝对有它的好出,但问题就是如何使用它。举个例子,如果你资金有限,放的是下
限,IUL 将会吃掉很多本金,尤其是当市场不好的时后--这里是说回报较低(<8%).
8.7%的回报是平均数,不是每年都是的。但是如果你有闲钱,能多放,不要放最少,那
么回报不仅可以抵消所有开销,还能使得你的本金增长,长期(>20 年)是非常好的,
加上税收的好处,恐怕没有几个投资能比得上。IUL 就想一把屠龙刀,用的好时杀一切
,不好时,可能对自己不好。最后,不要相信一边倒的言论,评估一下自己的家庭情况
,做出最有益自己家的选择。 |

同样三服天顶太阳喝热巧克力同样不合适
合适不合适要看你自己的需要+自己财政状况
版上一味鼓吹term life + mutual fund也有很大问题,当你活的太久,TERM过期,市
场大跌时,找他们去哭么
一般说学生不建议买什么IUL,工作年轻人士,喜欢各类投资,可以考虑分散风险,少
买点,因为年轻费用低,RATE锁住就很好
中年以后家庭不一样,要考虑的东西很多,就得具体分析
UL至少有一个好处,孩子上学前,把家庭存款全部清空一次性购买UL,等申请完奖学金
后免费退掉POLICY,很多人都用这办法,年收入200K的家庭也有每年1-2万的奖
IUL保险其实也是一个长期过程,至少要10年的期限来积累,买这个就是投资分散风
险,长期积累,以及隐私权,比如你破产离婚,都可以保留,现在最新是+LONG TERM

至于保险费用,那是IUL每个月的钱已经涵盖了费用,剩余的去投资积累CV,所以如果
