Permanent Insurance

*The policy’s transfer to the insured child or grandchild for no consideration is a tax-free rollover.

• Guarantees the possibility to buy life insurance on the insured at a given time, usually at the end of the original term life insurance.

• No underwriting, no questions asked when option is exercised.

• Amount of insurance available typically higher than original amount on first policy, up to a certain limit.

• New policy issued at standard rates.

• Most likely kids will need life insurance as adults, as it is a key element in an adult’s financial security.

• Constant improvements in diagnosis methods + rising statistics in obesity = increased chances of premium ratings or refusals to insure.

• Guaranteed insurability addresses these points.

• Permanent insurance lasts for lifetime of insured.

• In addition to basic life insurance coverage:

– access to cash in future to help cover certain expenses;

– increase insurance coverage over time without increasing premiums.

Accessing cash to help cover certain expenses

• Withdrawal from the accumulation fund in a UL

• Accumulated policy dividends from a participating whole life policy

• Receipt of policy dividends from a participating policy

• Policy or collateral loans guaranteed by cash values

Increase insurance coverage over time

• Start with amount sufficient to cover final expenses.

• Insurance coverage grows and will help cover greater needs when child is an adult.

• In most cases, premiums do not increase and sometimes, payment duration is temporary.

• Participating whole life (paid-up additions) or UL (face amount + accumulation fund)

Case Study 1 (for illustration purposes only; values will vary depending on product)

The policy owner has the flexibility to:

• Let the insurance coverage grow– With a growing paid-up coverage, he won’t have to buy as much life insurance to cover his other needs.

• Change the dividend option to receive cash annually– At a point when he finds the insurance coverage is sufficient, he can use the dividends for other purposes such as annual expenses or investments.

• Access cash with a policy or collateral loan guaranteed by the CSV– To help with a specific project or to address an emergency.– Consideration of possible tax consequences of a policy loan should be given before going forward with the transaction.

Case Study 2 (for illustration purposes only; values will vary depending on product)

Case Study 2 (for illustration purposes only; values will vary depending on product)

The policy owner has the flexibility to:

• Leave money in accumulation fund to increase death benefit– To cover growing needs.

• Pay additional premiums to increase coverage and tax-sheltered savings– Flexibility in amount of premium and payment schedule

Depends on your clients:
