Eligibility typically depends on:
• High Net Worth Status – US$1m life cover or more. Capital for Life’s services are only for HNW clients.
• Age – Our insurers cover high net worth individuals or family members aged 0–79.
• Health – Your health and medical history are important and will determine the cost of life cover
• Financial Goals – What do you want to use IUL for? Is it family protection? To finance a property purchase? Or retirement and estate planning?
Premiums vary based on your age, gender, and smoking status. At Capital for Life, we work exclusively with high-net-worth individuals and high earners. To open anIUL policy, you’ll typically need to invest at least USD 35,000 per year. Many clients contribute USD 100,000+ annually to maximise cash value, support estate planning, and build long-term wealth—for retirement planning or borrowing needs.

IUL offers more flexibility, offshore access, and tax benefits compared to local term or investment-linked policies offered by UAE-based insurers.
Because it’s held offshore, IUL can be structured to avoid Sharia-based forced heirship rules and aligned with international trusts, offering greater control over who inherits your wealth.
Yes. IUL allows complete flexibility in naming beneficiaries, unlike some regional policies constrained by local succession laws.
Nothing changes. Your policy is globally portable, remains in force, and can continue to grow and provide coverage no matter where you relocate.
While not Sharia-compliant by default, IUL policies can be structured to meet ethical investment preferences and avoid inheritance restrictions through offshore planning.
