Is Private Placement Life Insurance a Fit?

Increasingly, the investment community is buzzing about private placement life insurance (PPLI) and the benefits for those who are seeking greater tax-efficiency in their long-term financial planning.

Still, many of the individuals qualified to purchase PPLI and their advisors do not understand the concept, including the rewards and the risks.

Our latest blog, available at the link below, provides an overview of how PPLI works, important issues to consider with PPLI and when its use might make sense for the right client (hint: the math has to work).

At C3 Financial Partners, we work with affluent clients and their advisors in providing clarity around every component of a PPLI transaction, confidence that the math favors the client, increasing the likelihood that tax benefits will outweigh costs, and coordination with a client’s legal, accounting and investment professionals in establishing a PPLI policy.
