What if you could guarantee a portion of your retirement savings at some point in the future?
Here is a case study using John Smith, age 45. John’s mother, Mary, has recently turned 70 and is in average health (she takes a few medications to control her blood pressure and cholesterol).
John is currently capped out in his 401k and other retirement vehicles and is looking for a place to park assets for retirement. One option discussed with him is the Inheritance Retirement Plan. If John purchased life insurance on Mary with a premium of $10,000 per year to age 65 – a 20-year funding schedule – he would be able to purchase a GUARANTEED $307,042.
A Female, age 70, in average health has an average life expectancy to age 87.
At Mary’s age 87 (John’s age 62) that would represent a TAX-FREE rate of return to John at 5.38% – in a 35% tax bracket – the equivalent yield would be 8.09%
If Mary needed some care along the way and John wanted to help her out, he could opt to have a TAX-FREE bucket of money that he could draw off to care for his ailing mother.
