You know better than anyone else what your clients' financial needs are. Why advise your clients about Life Settlements?

Secondary Market For Life Insurance:

In a Life Settlement transaction your client will always get more than cash surrender value for their policy. This secondary market opens up a whole new perspective on disposing of unwanted or unaffordable life insurance policies. Now, when advising your clients to dispose of their Life Insurance policies, the opportunity exists to produce substantially more cash than cash surrender value. Even Term Insurance policies can qualify for a Life Settlement.

There is no longer a need to cash in a life insurance policy for cash surrender value or let a term policy lapse. Now your clients can sell their policies to a third party (not the insurance company). Advise your clients about a Life Settlement today!

How Do You Benefit From Advising Your Clients About Life Settlements?

• Your client gets cash that needs to be invested and managed by you. More commissions from additional investing!
• You satisfy your fiduciary responsibility to your clients by giving the best advice possible.
• Your clients recognize your expertise and good advice and refer more business.

Does Your Broker/Dealer Prohibit Your Involvement In Life Settlement Transactions?

• You still have a fiduciary responsibility to your client. Don't cause your client to leave money on the table. Call us at 877.588.5558 or email us and we'll send you some well respected articles on this subject.
• Refer the business - you do not have to have actual involvement in the transaction. If you are not involved in the transaction you still benefit as follows:
1. Your client receives cash that you invest on his/her behalf.
2. In the event you are involved with the life insurance policies - the original policy remains in force and renewal commissions continue.
3. In many cases your client will use proceeds to purchase a new policy on which you will receive a new commission.
4. You have given advice that is best for your client.

If you have a client who:

• at least 65 years old,
• has a life insurance policy (all types, including term) of $250,000 or more,
