Hi, I’m Brent Gardner, an independent life insurance broker in Dallas, Texas. This site primarily covers the subject of the latest generation of life insurance policies: Indexed Universal Life Insurance and Participating Whole Life with Indexed Dividends.
For comparison purposes, the subjects discussed will certainly include other types of life insurance, such as Term Life insurance, the other forms of Whole Life, the different forms of Universal Life, as well as the opposite of life insurance – the annuity policy.

Ask me about Internal Revenue Code Sections 7872, 7702, 1035, 412, 408, 162, 79, & 72.
