9/7: Understanding Premium Financing Life Insurance

If you’re looking to significantly build wealth, it’s imperative you understand how an asset like premium financed life insurance can support your portfolio.

Those ready to maximize their retirement planning should strongly consider this type of solution. It enables you to grow wealth tax-free, while protecting yourself and your family with a life insurance benefit.

In this article, I’ll outline premium financed life insurance so you can decide if it might be a good option for you, First, you’ll learn exactly how it works. Then, you’ll see the different options available, so you can choose what works best for you. Finally, you’ll learn why having a buffer asset like this helps mitigate risk in retirement.

How Premium Financed Life Insurance Works

To illustrate this approach to investing, consider this more common asset-based scenario: Investing in rental properties. Income property investors typically leverage their assets and cash to acquire a new property. Some may choose to pay in cash for a single family home, whereas others choose a down payment plus leverage a mortgage to purchase a multi-unit building. In both cases, investment property owners pay for the property (asset) then make a profit. However, the larger the asset is, the larger the profits become. Taking out a mortgage gives them the ability to make significantly more profit. Premium financed life insurance follows the same model. A lender compliments your insurance policy premium contributions and this creates a large asset: accessible cash value in your policy.

The insurance company provides a handsome return on that invested capital.

Three Types of Premium Financed Life Insurance

There are three types of PFLI policies:

  1. Enhanced Retirement Advantage (ERA)

  2. Deferred Enhanced Funding (DEF)

  3. Traditional Enhanced Funding (TEF)

In order to own a premium financed life insurance policy, the policy must serve as collateral for the lender.

Each policy’s cash value serves as the lender’s primary collateral*. TEF policies may require additional collateral. Check out more information on EFS solutions and types of collateral.
