The Proven Benefits of PPLI

PPLI isn’t magic — it’s math. The formula is simple: The cost of life insurance is much less than the cost of taxes.

PPLI provides an abundance of additional benefits:

  • With PPLI, nearly 100% of account value is available from day one, and accessing funds is straightforward
  • Earnings grow tax-deferred and can be accessed tax-free
  • Investment options are virtually unlimited, ranging from private equity and private credit to hedge funds and venture capital
  • You can appoint your team to manage investments using a completely custom strategy
  • PPLI eliminates income tax during life and provides an effective step-up in basis at death, and when structured properly, keeps the assets outside the taxable estate
  • PPLI has been around for decades and is treated as traditional life insurance, backed by 160+ years of tax law precedent
