In fact, an Account like a IUL is not a new investment strategy.
Accounts like these have been used by wealthy individuals and families for over 100 years to build, then pass on fortunes in a safe and secure environment.

So did Babe Ruth, Cleveland, McKinley, Harding, and FDR (FDR, in fact, held a large portion of his estate—$562,142 or over $7 million in today's dollars—inside his account...)
