This Deep Dive has concluded.
Access to capital inside a Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) policy is one of the most significant considerations when evaluating the strategy. Too often, clients and advisors alike view PPLI funds as inaccessible or “last resort money.” In this Deep Dive, WealthPoint Partner Ben Rainey explored why liquidity may be far more accessible than many realize.
In This Deep Dive
Ben explored:
- The mechanics of accessing funds inside a PPLI policy
- The structural difference between a withdrawal and a policy loan — and when each may be appropriate
- The low, contractually guaranteed costs associated with accessing those funds
- Why PPLI may be considered a source for needed funds rather than simply a “last resort”
- How a thorough understanding of liquidity access can help advisors evaluate the potential of PPLI for their clients
