Your prospects may be fearful that their retirement savings just aren’t enough, and they’re not alone, many Americans feel the weight of retirement growing with each passing year. Several factors contribute to a lack of savings after retirement, but a particularly significant factor is the absence of employer-sponsored retirement plans. An individual retirement account (IRA) may be able to ease the weight they may feel and serve a variety of needs for individuals and small businesses alike, but it doesn’t end there:

  • Qualified plan rollovers
  • Roth and Roth conversion
  • Monthly funding of IRA
  • Small business opportunity

1.The ability of a life insurance contract to accumulate sufficient cash value to help meet accumulation goals will be dependent upon the amount of extra premium paid into the policy, and the performance of the policy , and is not guaranteed. Policy loans and withdrawals reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may result in a taxable event. Withdrawals up to the basis paid into the contract and loans thereafter will not create an immediate taxable event, but substantial tax ramifications could result upon contract lapse or surrender. Surrender charges may reduce the policy’s cash value in early years.
