- Contribution plans can be decreased any time without underwriting
- Contribution plans can be increased with additional health underwriting
BEST GROWTH DESIGN APPROACH;
Determine maximum capital contributions over future 10-15 years desired to compound tax-free
Apply for a policy designed for the MINIMUM required LTC/Life benefits that retain IRC 7702 tax-free provisions
With flexibility permitted, add capital to fit max funding design as fast as cashflows allow
STRATEGY NEGATIVES:
Longer term commitment
Requires more complete health exam and underwriting
Requires initial multi-year contribution planning (actual contribution amounts can be flexible)
Premature policy cancellation subject to substantial penalties
Annual market-linked upside growth is typically limited, and rarely supersedes 20% annual interest in any single year
Initial dollar contributions incur 1st year expense burdens of 6-8%, with declining expenses annually.
Gross total annual average fees typically drop to or below 1% by 15th-20th year (thereby roughly equaling traditional portfolio management fees, without traditional portfolio loss risks.)
*Guarantees backed by the claims paying strengths of the offering insurance companies.
