A Powerful Tool for Solving Many Financial Planning Problems

The Surprising Power of Life Insurance

Today’s life insurance products can generate attractive income tax-free internal rates of return on top of providing immediate liquidity to the beneficiaries at the death of the insured.

Many people think of life insurance only for its most basic use: a death benefit. Many are not aware that life insurance in their later years can solve a multitude of other problems.

High net-worth investors, Wall Street banks, and large institutions do understand that life insurance is one of the most powerful financial instruments available. There is a reason why the richest Americans own over half of the tax-free gains built up in life insurance, and why banks have over $150 billion in cash value life insurance.
