INCOME AND SAVINGS STRATEGIES
1
Tax-Exempt
Savings
Tax-Exempt Savings (TES) is our #1 Retirement Savings product. It is a flexible, Indexed strategy that can give you more Tax-exempt income, protection and benefits in retirement. Income and benefits are designed to last for life.
Three ways TES produces more growth & income
than 401Ks/IRAs:
-
Higher Growth: TES can earn double-digit growth in up markets and pays nearly 4% guaranteed interest in volatile or down markets through the fixed account. Gains lock in annually and are protected from future market losses.
-
Persistency Bonus: Increasing bonuses paid each year which help offset the cost of insurance and add cash value to the contract.
-
Loan Interest: Upon retiring, income from TES is taken as a loan that is never repaid. Historically, 7 out of 10 years these loans can add "net" interest to the contract.
Who should consider TES?
Tax-Exempt Savings offers a better retirement savings alternative for most people and situations by providing the opportunity for more growth, income, protection and benefits than found in 401ks and IRAs invested in the stock market.
401k/IRA Investors:
Diversify out of stock market risk, get more lifetime benefits and spendable (tax-exempt) income, pay much lower costs and use less out-of-pocket money to fund. TES income and benefits are designed to last for life.
Self-Employed, Small Business Owners & Employees:
These 3 groups of people can now have a portable, individual retirement savings with flexibility in funding, allows easy access to cash value, provides lifetime tax exempt income and benefits that won’t run out. Loans may be used for any reason and have no penalties or restrictions.
Parents & Grandparents funding college plans:
TES makes an ideal gift for children and grandchildren to help cover the cost of higher education, starting a small business or a down payment on that first home. It provides more growth and income, has more options and fewer restrictions than 529 plans.
