Neither Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada nor the presenter has been engaged for the purpose of providing legal, accounting, taxation, or other professional advice.

6 What you ll learn today Corporate investment shelter (CIS) overview What it is and how it works Case Study Illustrating the CIS strategy Sales and marketing support available
7 Corporate investment shelter 101 Compares the benefits of a corporately owned participating whole life insurance solution to a traditional non-registered investment Maximize corporate asset value by minimizing the erosion of investment assets through taxes and other costs Use of capital dividend account (CDA) and refundable dividend tax on hand credits (RDTOH)
8 The corporate tax challenge Challenges with traditional investments Challenges while living Taxes payable on investment income Interest Dividends Realized capital gains Passive investment income Attracts tax at top corporate rate No small business deduction Erosion through income taxes = Reduced growth of corporate assets
9 The corporate tax challenge Challenges with traditional investments Challenges at death Taxes payable on deferred capital gains Taxes payable on transfers to shareholder s estate Erosion through taxes at death = Less assets available for estate
10 The corporate investment shelter Addressing the tax challenges Addressing tax challenges while living CIS uses a participating whole life insurance policy Policy earnings grow tax exempt Addressing tax challenges at death Policy proceeds can be paid tax free to the corporation (no deferred gains) Amount of death benefit in excess of the policy s adjusted cost basis can be paid as a tax-free capital dividend to the shareholder s estate
11 Target client profile Owner / significant shareholder of a Canadian controlled private corporation (CCPC) Age 50+ and healthy A corporate life insurance need exists Corporation has: excess cash flow and/or, investment assets not needed for business purposes Wants to maximize estate and transfer assets in a taxefficient manner Looking for stable and consistent asset growth
12 CIS suitability questionnaire Does the shareholder / corporation have a business succession plan in place? want to reduce tax on corporate investment income? have a desire to pass corporate assets to a beneficiary? have a corporate life insurance need? own taxable passive investment assets? own corporate investment assets with a deferred capital gain? want a minimum amount of estate value to be guaranteed? CIS
13 Corporate investment shelter A picture is worth a thousand words
14 CIS is not just tax efficient Some additional benefits For the shareholder Insurance immediately increases estate value Reduction of investment risk gives greater certainty to estate value CDA credit improves estate value Life insurance policy dividends provide stable long-term growth For you Convincing, professional demonstration Proof of insurance as a cost-effective solution for asset transfer at death Increased client loyalty
15 Capital dividend account The finer points Corporate income type Interest earned Dividends earned Deferred capital gains Realized capital gains Life insurance death benefit Is this eligible for CDA credit? No No No, only when these gains are realized Yes, only the nontaxable portions Yes, amounts in excess of the policy ACB
16 The benefits of a CIS with par whole life insurance from Sun Life Financial Access to the steady and consistent performance of the Sun Life Par Account through the crediting of policyholder dividends managed with a long-term perspective Investment experience is a key factor influencing dividends Potential to reduce investment volatility No need to make ongoing investment decisions Opportunity for asset diversification

19 Case study Bruce s story Access to corporate assets for retirement $60,000/yr of dividend income for 20 years starting at age 65 Age 54 Time to retirement Retained earnings 11 years $1.25 million (equity + fixed income) Investment assets must deliver stable and consistent returns At death, corporate assets will be passed to his children
20 Bruce s concerns Bruce s corporate investment income is being taxed at the highest rate. Capital gains taxes are due at his death. Assets paid from the corporation to his estate are taxed as a dividend. A significant market correction will decrease the estate value of his corporate assets.
21 The solution Corporate investment shelter BL Holdco purchases a participating whole life insurance policy Transfers funds from taxable investments to policy Policy type Face amount $750,000 Dividend option Annual premium Number of payments 10 Sun Par Protector 20 pay Paid-up additional insurance $44,990 including Plus premium benefit payment of $10,290 Premium offset* Beginning in year 11 under current / - 1% Withdrawals from BL Holdco * Not guaranteed $60,000/yr (indexed) beginning at age 65 for 20 years
