Join Chris as he takes a detailed look at 3 key insurance ideas:
1 – Guaranteed Income Enhancer – today’s version of the “Insured annuity”. Using pricing arbitrage to provide retirees the equivalent of 5-8% cashflow on a fully guaranteed basis, with less taxable income than a bond or GIC.
2 – CashBack Term – don’t treat term insurance like a commodity. You can still offer extra value, and even some guaranteed cash value for no extra cost. See where this idea fits.
3 – Critical Illness coverage – little known secrets in the Beneva CI portfolio that make it easier to implement with your clients.
