Editorial review by a licensed agent who may earn a commission. No insurer pays for placement or grades. Hans is paid a commission by the insurer if you buy a policy through him. For life insurance, ask and he will tell you what he earns on your specific policy.

Short answer: Allianz Life (AM Best A+, affirmed March 2026) was No. 6 in 2025 IUL sales ($308 million). It publishes a dated rate sheet for Life Accumulator: a 12.25% cap with a 0.25% guaranteed minimum cap and a 5.30% fixed account (9/1/2026). An advisor guide adds that its indexed loan charge is 5% up front and guaranteed for the life of the policy. Life Pro+ Advantage and Life Pro+ Elite have no current public sheets.

Life Accumulator: the public numbers

Rate sheet M-8871 (R-9/2026) lists the S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap at 12.25%, a guaranteed minimum cap of 0.25%, a minimum participation rate of 5% on participation accounts, and a fixed account at 5.30% (Allianz M-8871). The headline cap is competitive. The guaranteed minimums are thin, which means the long-run result depends on Allianz's future option budget more than on its contract. Full Life Accumulator review.

Loans: ask for the terms

Allianz's public rate sheet does not list its loan charges. Ask for the current indexed and fixed loan rates, and whether the indexed loan charge is guaranteed for the life of the policy. Whatever the rate, borrowing is not an arbitrage: if the index credits 0%, an indexed loan still costs its full rate. IUL loan rates in 2026.

Life Pro+ Advantage and Elite

Life Pro+ Advantage (minimum death benefit $100,000 in a 2023 producer guide) and Life Pro+ Elite are Allianz's other IULs. Without current public rate sheets, they are covered here rather than graded. Ask for a current illustration with the guaranteed column.

Who Allianz fits

Accumulators under about 55 who want a high current cap and will review yearly.
Owners who value a guaranteed indexed-loan charge for retirement access.
Less ideal for buyers who want strong contractual upside guarantees.
