Any opinions about putting $$$ in a CIGNA universal life cash accumulation fund. The current 5% (tax free, guaranteed min 4%; 2% "load" ....premium tax) is very tempting in this low interest environment. On the other hand, we've had returns of Eurobank CDs from FDIC in the 5th month of its interest cycle (paid every 6 mos , so no interest for that cycle) and AARP/Waterfield Bank got wiped.
I probably would jump in hoping the state guaranty fund would be the FDIC equivalent but my understanding is that for CA, the guaranty is only for 80% of the value.
