Permanent Life Insurance

Permanent life insurance is designed to provide lifetime protection and includes a unique savings feature known as cash value. Unlike term life insurance, which only covers you for a set number of years, permanent insurance stays in effect for your entire life—as long as premiums are paid. It pays a tax-free death benefit to your beneficiary and accumulates cash value over time that you can access while you’re still alive.

There are several types of permanent life insurance, each offering different levels of flexibility and growth potential:

• Whole Life Insurance: Offers guaranteed death benefit, fixed premiums, and steady cash value growth. It’s ideal for those seeking long-term predictability.
   
• Indexed Universal Life (IUL): Offers flexible premiums and ties cash value growth to the performance of a stock market index (like the S&P 500), with built-in downside protection.
   
• Variable Universal Life (VUL): Allows cash value to be invested in market sub-accounts for potentially higher growth but carries more risk.
   
• Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL): Offers affordable lifelong coverage with less emphasis on cash value, often used for estate planning.
   

Choosing the right type depends on your risk tolerance, financial goals, and the role you want the policy to play in your overall plan. At Fortunium Insurance, we help you explore these options and design a plan that fits your needs.

One of the most powerful features of permanent life insurance is its ability to supplement retirement income. As the policy's cash value grows tax-deferred, you can take policy loans or withdrawals in retirement to supplement your income—without triggering taxable events if managed properly.

Unlike traditional retirement accounts (like IRAs or 401(k)s), there are:

• No contribution limits
• No required minimum distributions (RMDs)
• No income restrictions for participation

This makes permanent insurance a valuable tool for building tax-advantaged income in retirement—especially when combined with other strategies.

Permanent life insurance offers several tax benefits that make it appealing for long-term planning:

• Tax-free death benefit to beneficiaries
• Tax-deferred growth of cash value
• Tax-free policy loans if structured properly
• No capital gains tax on cash value growth

These benefits allow you to build wealth and access funds efficiently, all while protecting your family or business.

Permanent life insurance can also be started at a young age—even from birth. Parents or grandparents often open policies for their children to:

• Lock in low premiums for life
• Provide lifetime coverage
• Give children access to tax-advantaged savings they can use for education, a first home, or retirement

It’s a simple way to build a strong financial foundation that grows with them over time.

For business owners, permanent life insurance serves as a vital tool in strategic planning:

• Key Person Insurance: Protects your business financially if a key employee or executive passes away.
• Buy-Sell Agreements: Ensures smooth ownership transitions if a partner dies, using the policy’s death benefit to fund the buyout.
• Executive Benefits: Can be used in non-qualified deferred compensation plans or executive bonus plans to attract and retain top talent.
• Business Loans and Expansion: The policy’s cash value can be used as collateral or accessed for working capital, offering financial flexibility.
