Course Description: This course will provide education on private placement life insurance and variable annuity products; what they are and what they are not. There will be discussion on insurance and utilizing insurance as a solution for tax and wealth planning. Information covered will be tax rules/laws surrounding the private placement products (IRC 72(u) and 7702) and the benefits and consideration of these solutions. In addition, there will be a review of planning strategies the advisor can bring home to their cleints that incorporate these tax deferral vehicles (i.e.: Dynasty Trusts, CLATs, ILITs).
Learning Objective: The primary goal of this course is to educate financial advisors on what private placement products are (and are not), their benefits and considerations, and the appropriateness of these strategies depending on the client’s profile and goals. Private placement variable products have the potential to convert highly inefficient taxable assets into favorable tax-efficient investments. The objective of this course is to explain what these products are, how they work, demystify their make-up, and provide the advisors the tools they need to start the dialog for this tax efficient solution.
