Taxable Investment vs. PPLI

Private Placement Insurance allows qualified investors the ability to have their investments grow in a tax-free environment, thus eliminating tax drag and increasing their returns. Most policies have low front-end loads and annual policy charges are a fraction of the tax costs associated with the same investments in a taxable environment. A general rule is that the total insurance fees are less than 1-1.25% of the cash value over the life of the investment. Looking at it from an investors perspective, a 10% return in a Private Placement Life Insurance Contract will yield approximately 9% net return versus a 6.5% return in a taxable environment. Remember, what you "keep" is more important than what you "earn!"
