We’ve all heard the stories of wealthy business owners, investors and even professional athletes and celebrities who frivolously spend their millions, only to end up broke.
It’s easy to look at the people this happens to and think, “That would never be me. I am too smart and careful with my money to ever let that happen.” That’s very likely true!
However, the goal isn’t simply to avoid going broke. It’s to build secure wealth that more than supports you and your family, long after retirement.
As we manage today’s bear market, it’s more important than ever to keep making smart decisions about which assets to tap through varying market conditions and circumstances.
Utilizing buffer assets like premium financed life insurance is a smart way to handle your finances in the present while planning for the future, even in a downturn.
If you’re wondering if premium financed life insurance is right for you, here’s what to consider.
How Premium Financed Life Insurance Helps Build and Protect Your Wealth
First and foremost, premium financing for life insurance ensures clients can obtain the strongest possible life insurance policy and utilize that policy as an asset.
Rather than simply purchasing a policy and viewing it as an expense, those who utilize this type of strategy understand one crucial thing:
Your life insurance is an asset that can build wealth while protecting you at the same time.
No one wants to worry about how market volatility will impact their ability to live off their retirement savings.
After all, the goal of retiring isn’t just to spend the minimum amount possible to stay alive.
You want to be able to use your money whenever you need it – regardless of what the economy looks like at the moment.
To fully enjoy the fruits of your labor during retirement, a buffer asset like PFLI is necessary.
What are Buffer Assets?
Buffer Assets are investments that offers supplemental income when equity investments like stocks are experiencing a downturn.
Premium financed life insurance can serve as a great buffer asset due to its guaranteed downside protection.
It allows you to safely access income during poorly performing markets.
When you draw from your buffer asset instead of your nest egg, you don’t have to worry about running out of money.
The benefits of a premium financed life insurance policy include:
Historical yearly IRR of 8%-15%
More flexible distribution options
Tax-free income for retirement
More of your money staying with your estate, and with your family
Peace of mind during volatile markets
How Does Premium Financed Life Insurance Work, Exactly?
When you work with Enhanced Funding Solutions, we start by helping you secure a better life insurance policy that is carefully designed to improve your financial position.
We work with lenders to secure capital and enhance your contributions to efficiently improve policy performance.
Next, you contribute a fixed annual amount to compliment the lender’s capital. EFS coordinates your annual contributions alongside the lender’s capital on your behalf.
The insurance company provides a return on the invested capital.
Imagine you need a 7- or 8-figure life insurance policy. Over many years, this self-funded policy costs you tens of thousands of dollars.
Alternatively, premium financed life insurance offers tax-free growth and tax-free income during retirement.
With a historical yearly IRR of 8%-15%, this capital builds measurable wealth for your retirement.
