Why are Individuals Financing Policies in Today's Environment?
Whether your client desires an additional tax-free income stream during their retirement years, or significant death benefit to pass to their heirs, financing life insurance premiums enables them to earn a spread between expected policy returns and borrowing rates. Anticipated results are a compounded 8-10% tax-free return over time.
Structured For Cash Growth
Building up cash in the policy is an effective way to grow leveraged dollars in a tax-free environment. The cash value in the policy can be accessed, via tax-free distributions, during your lifetime. You may also opt to allow the cash to continue growing over time in the tax-free environment.
Structured For Estate Planning
Ideal for those who desire a substantial amount of life insurance – for business planning, tax planning or to transfer wealth to future generations — and who don’t want to write significant premium checks. Clients finance premiums for various reasons; it could be for lack of liquidity, or they simply would rather use the bank’s money and pay interest at a low rate to provide beneficiaries with death benefit in the future.
