Blog #96: Retirement Cash Flow Funded by Premium Financing

Bob Ritter's Blog 96 Retirement Cash Flow Funded by Premium Financing image

One of the top markets for premium financing involves large face amounts of personally-owned life insurance purchased by wealthy clients to produce significant amounts of spendable cash flow during their retirement years.


Case Study


Robert and Lynne Sullivan, both age 46, have a current net worth of $6,400,000.  They are analyzing whether a premium financing arrangement can be a useful addition to their retirement plans.


The graphic below summarizes the results of the premium financing arrangement prepared in the InsMark Premium Financing System.

Next, the premium financing data was exported to InsMark’s Wealthy and Wise where it was integrated with the Sullivan’s overall financial plan.  One of the cornerstones of their current plan (Strategy 1) is $300,000 of after tax cash flow beginning at their age 60 indexed at 3.00% as an inflation offset.


The graphic below compares Strategy 1, their current plan, with integrating the premium financing arrangement in Strategy 2.


Strategy 1:  Current Plan
Strategy 2:  Add Premium Financing
Strategy 2 produces a net worth gain in excess of $51 million with no out-of-pocket cost to the Sullivans.
(Policy funded with bank loans, loan interest paid from client assets,
and policy loans repaying the bank loan in Year 11.)

Strategy 3:  An alternative to the $51 million increase in net worth of Strategy 2 is to add to their spendable retirement cash flow by reducing long-range net worth.  The graphic below compares all three Strategies.


Strategy 1:  Current Plan
Strategy 2:  Add Premium Financing
Strategy 3:  Increase Retirement Cash Flow

Strategy 3 reduces the gain in net worth while producing over $11.5 million of additional spendable retirement cash flow.

The choice is the Sullivans: increase net worth with Strategy 2 or increase net worth and spendable cash flow with Strategy 3 -- or anywhere in between.


Note to Wealthy and Wise Licensees:  To calculate the maximum additional cash flow, we used the Cash Flow Availability Calculator in Wealthy and Wise located on any of the drop-downs on the Desired Cash Flow tab.


Below is the impact on the Sullivan’s heirs (assuming an annual 3.00% increase in the estate tax exemption).

That is a huge number of reports, I know; however, I recommend that you have all the reports for a given case with you when you are visiting with a client or client’s attorney or CPA.  Wealthy and Wise backs up every number shown, and you never know which report you’ll need to answer the inevitable question, “Where did this number come from?” That’s why I provided all of them to you in this Blog so you can familiarize yourself with them.


Most Wealthy and Wise users select a few key illustrations for the main report and put the balance in an Appendix.

“As with all of the InsMark software, InsMark’s Premium Financing System has proven to be an indispensable addition to my ability to show my clients the advantages in using a “Financed Premium” concept to solve their financial needs.  Because of this, I was able to close three large financed premium cases easier and faster than ever before.  I no longer need to use the cumbersome and illegible spreadsheets provided to me from other sources.  As everyone understands, Premium Finance is a complex and involved concept to undertake.  With the InsMark Premium Financing System, I am now able to show my clients a professional rendering of Premium Finance that is concise and easy to understand.  As always, InsMark has delivered again.  I encourage all who use Premium Finance as a solution to their clients’ needs to purchase this system.  The cost of the system is not an expense, but rather an investment in your business.”
