The STAR Plan® Value Proposition

HCE's now have a choice:

  • Continue to be financially subject to Washington's turmoil while feeding the retail financial services food chain.

  • Or not - Shift to the same institutional fund and risk management product and tax independent position leading institutions have utilized for 25 years.

The STAR Plan® was created for those that choose "not".

Retail and Institutional Life Insurance are "apples and shampoo" different.

Two totally different values - driven by two totally different product structures – two very different applications of the IRC §7702 tax code:

  • Retail Life Insurance – Insurance for your death

    Designed for low premiums and high death benefit management.  Managed for replacement by the issuers - need to keep proving your insurability to receive current rates - Not designed for long-term cash management.

  • Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) – Insurance for your life

    Designed to maximum premiums and minimal death benefit management to minimize costs and maximize lifelong fund management accessible cash.  Managed for retention by the issuers - pass-through current - never need to prove your insurability to receive current rates. Designed specifically for immediate and long-term cash management and tax independence.

Retail life insurance is structurally inconsistent for long-term cash management.  Just because an insurance company will let you shove a ton of cash into a retail policy doesn't mean it's a good idea.  Typically - it's not.

STAR Due Diligence - Retail v Institutional Life Insurance for employers, individuals and trustees.

Why have institutions invested over $180 billion (12/2010) of their cash reserves insuring those least likely to die near-term?

Why are America's most affluent families shifting to ILI for their fund management ?

  • Because a 5%-10% lifelong average cost of ILI is a lot less than a 15%-45% cost of taxes on investment gains.

  • Because ILI offers access to leading funds often at a 35%-65% discount compared to their retail mutual fund counterparts.

  • Because ILI provides from day one comparable or greater accessible cash as taxable or tax-qualified plan fund investing plus financial protection at $0 additional cost.

No other financial “structure” today offers HCE's this value proposition.

The STAR Plan allows you to access ILI for your personal fund management – take an institutional cash management approach to your cash reserves.

Only ILI offers you a “win-win-win” value opportunity:

  • Short-term - Comparable accessible cash of a taxable brokerage account.

  • Long-term - Comparable or greater accessible cash of a tax qualified benefit plan.

  • Lifelong – Financial protection in the event of terminal illness or death.
