Learning Objective

  • To discuss a variety of insurance available for most individuals and businesses.
  • To inspect why insurance is an asset similar to stocks and bonds.
  • To analyze why insurance should be used for family businesses.
  • To discuss how to create and implement a strategic plan that immediately creates liquidity and legacy.

Course Overview

Mention life insurance to individuals and there is a shudder of concern. Life insurance to many becomes synonymous with death or disability. Yet, insurance serves a practical purpose – even an asset.

According to LIMRA, 59% of Americans have life insurance. With so many different types of policies available, it’s often another misunderstood financial product. Life insurance can be used as a death benefit, supplemental income in retirement, and long-term care.

The construction of a proposed life insurance solution in a personal financial plan is complex on several levels. As a personal financial planner, you must possess a broad range of knowledge of the various insurance solutions available to have a reasoned dialogue with your clients.

There are many misunderstandings concerning life insurance. The key is not to leave life insurance out of your budget unless you have enough assets to cover your expenses after you're gone.

If you or your clients are concerned about life insurance, do not. Life insurance is as much an asset as other products. As long as cash is available for distribution, life insurance becomes an asset. Life insurance can be leveraged to mitigate risk and can provide multiple strategies for your legacy plan.

In this CPE Finance Course speaker, Drew Stevens will explain everything about life insurance.

Key topics covered:

  • Important Reasons for Life Insurance
  • Myths About Life Insurance
  • What Is An Asset? 
  • Discover how to position life insurance for your clients
  • Understand that life insurance is an alternative investment
  • Distinguish between life insurance and annuities
  • Why do some of your clients have issues with life insurance
  • Create Pathways of success for both you and your client

This was mostly a basic level course, but the speaker did provide some great examples on how key person/buy-sell/corporate-owned insurance can be used to fund separation payments, or business continuity. He also did a nice job on explaining the different ways that life insurance can be viewed/used as an asset.
