Our website explains why you should have whole life insurance. As a high-net-worth individual, you can be very good at developing a high return on your portfolio of investments, properties and business interests. You probably have a definite need for life insurance, but you don’t have the liquidity, or are reluctant to dip into your existing investments or high‐yielding assets to pay for the premiums.
Today, we are going to talk about how premium finance may help provide a solid solution worthy to consider, and how combining the two (premium financing and whole life insurance) may create a powerful solution to the problem of having insurance, without having to dip into your assets to pay for it. Let’s look at the two products:
Whole Life Insurance |
Premium Finance |
|
Guaranteed death benefit, typically income tax‐free to beneficiaries |
Can represent a current source of capital for life insurance premiums |
|
Guaranteed premium that never goes up |
Can provide the needed premium dollars until the client has a future liquidity event (e.g. sale of business) |
|
Cash values that grow tax‐deferred |
For wealthy clients, borrowing may make sense if they expect their assets/investments to continue generating positive arbitrage over the loan interest rate. |
|
Policy can be used as collateral for a loan |
Is a powerful estate planning tool that allows high‐net‐worth individuals the ability to purchase life insurance using someone else’s money |
|
Integrates easily with personal and business financial strategies |
Purchasing life insurance and using someone else’s money to pay the premiums – what could be better than that? But as with everything, there is risk. Guarantees apply to certain insurances and are subject to product terms, exclusions and limitations, and the insurer’s claims-paying ability and financial strength. Premium financing involves borrowing money from a third party. Borrowing costs can be low initially and then escalate as rates rise, leaving policyholders owing more for the premiums than what the policy is worth. So how do we minimize the risk? One way is by purchasing a conservative, guaranteed whole life insurance policy. Many times we utilize a product that is guaranteed to be paid up in 10 years.
