The Basic PPLI Structure

Grantor/Insured sets up an Irrevocable Trust
Grantor/Insured pays PPLI premium into the Irrevocable Trust
Grantor/Insured selects the Trust's beneficiary(ies)
The trust pays premium to the (#5) insurance company
Insurance Company reinsures (#6) the majority of its risks to ensure ability to meet its insurance obligations
The same U.S. companies reinsure onshore and offshore insurance companies’ obligation to pay death benefits. Therefore, offshore companies carry no more risk than U.S. companies
Insurance Company (#5) issues the PPLI policy
Grantor/Insured recommends an investment advisor of their choice
Investment Advisor invests the policy assets

PPLI Policies Can Be Used In A Planning Strategy For:

Retirement planning
Asset protection planning
Political uncertainty planning
Tax-free income and appreciation
Participating in hedge funds and other alternative investments
Tax-free loans of policy assets that can be paid back anytime or out of the death benefit
Helping heirs avoid being forced to sell assets to meet estate tax liability

Greater Investment Flexibility

Private Placement Life Insurance has the qualities of both insurance and investments. Part of the premium goes to pay for insurance, and the rest is invested.

Your PPLI investment advisor is allowed to select from an almost unlimited choice of investment funds and to allocate the assets among those funds
The advisor has the option of moving money between funds from time to time without additional charges or tax consequences
There is no income tax on earnings. Tax-sheltered growth is one of the main selling points for Private Placement Life Insurance policies
