Every Well-thought-out Financial Strategy Includes Insurance

You’ve built a nest egg and are fortifying your portfolio to secure your financial future and to maintain the lifestyle that you want in retirement. But building and growing your money is only part of your financial picture. You need to protect your income and assets, and insurance is the way to do that. Insurance hedges you against the risk of financial losses from unexpected events that can change your life—and provides ways to pay outstanding debts, estate taxes, lost wages, and funeral, care, educational and other expenses. There are many types of insurance, and you may need different products at different times of your life. Our Advisors will help you evaluate your needs to determine which products will work best for you and when you’ll need them.

Term Life – Term life insurance is the most affordable insurance option and offers pure protection for your loved ones at the lowest cost. Term life insurance provides coverage at a fixed payment rate over a predetermined policy period or fixed time period, the policy term, which is typically 10-to-30-years. If you die during the policy term, your beneficiaries receive a death benefit payout.

Variable Life – Variable Life insurance is a permanent insurance product designed to meet certain insurance needs and investment goals. It also facilitates tax planning objectives because of the tax-deferred accumulation of earnings from the investment options—typically mutual funds—offered under the policy. An attractive feature of the variable life insurance product is its flexibility regarding premium payments and cash value accumulation. Premiums are not fixed, and within limits, policyholders may adjust their premium payments to align with their needs and investment goals. The policy pays a specified amount to your beneficiaries upon your death. Because of the investment risks attached to your variable insurance policy it is considered a securities contract and contains separate accounts, comprising various instruments and investment funds.

Universal Life – A universal life insurance policy can be used to build a tax-free inheritance for your loved ones or supplement your retirement income. It’s geared toward high earners who are trying to build a nest egg without moving into a higher income tax bracket. Plus, universal life helps you support your long-term savings goals. The cash value option that's part of a universal life policy may be available for you to withdraw or borrow against in an emergency. Universal life is another form of permanent insurance, and its flexible payment structure allows you to decrease or increase your premiums which can be drawn from the accumulated cash value of the policy. If you keep up with your policy's premiums, universal life pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries.

Disability Income Insurance – Disability income (DI) insurance is designed to replace between 45% and 65% of your gross income on a tax-free basis in the event illness or injury prevents you from earning your usual work income. Although some employer-offered plans and workers' compensation can provide help during a disability, the quality and scope of your work-based coverage may leave you short of the protection you require. DI becomes an important complement to any employer-based plan.

Whole Life – Whole life insurance provides a death benefit throughout your life and contains a savings component in which cash value may accumulate on a tax-advantaged basis. During your lifetime, the cash value may be used for investment, or you may withdraw against it or borrow from it when needed.

Long-term Care – Taking care of yourself as you age can be an expensive proposition. Buying long-term care insurance is one way to prepare for the costs of the many services that aren’t covered by regular health insurance or Medicare or Medicaid. Waiting until you need care to buy coverage isn’t an option because you won’t qualify for a policy if you already have a debilitating condition. 

Long-term care insurance covers the cost of assistance with routine daily activities, like bathing, dressing, or getting in and out of bed as well as the cost of care when you have a chronic medical condition, a disability, or a disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease. Most policies will reimburse you for care in a variety of places that include your home, a nursing home, an assisted living facility, or an adult day care center.
