When it comes to exploring avenues for wealth building, legacy-minded individuals often utilize index universal life insurance, which can be premium financed.
What is Index Universal Life Insurance and why is it so popular among those with means?
Sometimes an investor’s goal is to set up the family inheritance with as much protection as possible.
Another investor may want to diversify their portfolio with less tax restrictions and therefore bigger payout.
An investor with a business to build might leverage the insurance to protect those funds.
Lastly, all of these investors know they need a buffer asset. This is a type of asset used to supplement income when the market is down (versus drawing from a principal account and affecting its growth potential).
Premium Financed Index Universal Life Insurance has typically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy, but it doesn’t have to be.
Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Lawyers – these people are often overlooked in this industry – we believe everyone should have access to this powerful investment vehicle.
For many, considering insurance as an asset isn’t a typical line of thinking. However, index universal life insurance is not new.
At Enhanced Funding Solutions, our firm specializes with over 15 years of experience in this specific asset class.
Premium Financed Life Insurance allows clients to maximize an often untapped asset.
Why Premium Financed Life is Lucrative – Even in a Down Market
More money is better, right? Except when that money is vulnerable and otherwise unprotected.
Investors who are planning for retirement can utilize this growth tool to compliment a diversified equities portfolio.
Typically, we see a balance between equities (stocks, ETFs, etc.) and fixed investments (like bonds, REITS, etc.). This is because it isn’t wise to put all of your funds into equities.
Index Universal life insurance is considered a fixed investment, meaning it’s not affected by a volatile market.
Those concerned about their financial legacy can establish an incredibly beneficial, tax-saving premium financed life insurance solution.
Doing this means they don’t have to worry about income in a down market during their retirement years.
Historically, the typical IRR (Interest Rate Return) has been between 8% and 15%.
When those inevitable down years occur, retirees have a buffer asset to utilize. Rather than touching their principal retirement account, they draw tax-free income from their policy just like a checking account.
