It’s Time to Assess Premium Financing Arrangements
Over the past decade, a common method to fund permanent life insurance was to finance the premiums and to take advantage of the difference between the lending interest rate and the dividend or crediting rate on a policy.
From a design perspective, this strategy was presented as a way to lower the costs of obtaining a large amount of life insurance while preserving cash flow.
Today, many policyholders who financed the premiums to purchase their life insurance policies find themselves facing skyrocketing lending interest rates, collateral that is worth less or is insufficient and policy performance that lags due to how insurance companies invest premiums. In effect, some of these policyholders may be “upside down” in their financing arrangements and not realize it.
