For instance, if an IUL policy has a spread rate of 2% and the linked index experiences a 10% growth, the policyholder's cash value would be credited with an 8% return (10% - 2%). This spread rate is one of the factors that can affect the overall growth of the cash value within an IUL policy. It is important for policyholders to understand how the spread rate is applied, as it can impact the potential accumulation of savings within the policy.
