Case Qualifications 9
Case Qualifications 10
Case Study #1 The Need A commercial construction company had a large term policy on its owner and founder. It covered two important needs key person protection and buy/sell funding. The death benefit would help compensate the company for the loss of the owner in the event of his untimely death, and it would also help the company buy back his stock according to the buy/sell agreement. The term policy had a $10,000,000 death benefit The annual premium on the term policy was $30,375 The premium is a net expense to the company This example is based upon a real case, different scenarios may have different outcomes. 11
Case Study #1 The Solution Because large commercial construction businesses have substantial bonding requirements, the company had to keep a lot of liquid assets on its balance sheet. By replacing the term policy with a $10,000,000 Nationwide Future Executive UL (FEUL) policy, the company would be able to reposition those liquid assets into it and implement a solution that could provide all of this: Key person protection to help compensate for the loss of the owner Buy/sell agreement funding to help buy back the company stock at his death An improved financial position; the company may book the cash surrender value of the new policy as an asset (i.e., other assets cash surrender value life insurance), which results in a net gain A better rate of return; instead of the.25% to.50% it had been earning on the liquid assets where they were, the company could now earn a 1.86% rate of return on the cash surrender value in the life insurance policy, net of all fees in Year 1 Please reference Sample Illustration #1 12
Case Study #2 The Need Four owners of an engineering and manufacturing company needed to invest more for their retirement. Although their 401k plan had great participation and allowed them to max out their contributions, it still wasn t enough. The owners thought about additional profit sharing and qualified defined benefit/cash balance plans, but didn t pursue them. They would cost a lot more money and couldn t provide the desired results. Nondiscrimination rules still apply Matching contributions were still required This example is based upon a real case, different scenarios may have different outcomes. 13
Case Study #2 The Solution To help get beyond the constraints of qualified plans, their financial advisor showed them several after tax strategies that all offered these advantages: No contribution limits The opportunity for tax advantaged growth Access to cash for supplemental retirement income without taxation They chose the IBRP, which may sound somewhat typical, but the advisor and clients chose it for a not so typical reason. The Nationwide Future Executive VUL (FEVUL) policy is designed to work efficiently within corporate sponsored, individually owned arrangements like these. Because of that, each of the four owners could individually own a policy and take advantage of: Institutional pricing based on Nationwide s 15 years of experience in business life insurance that offers the opportunity to accumulate cash value more quickly A cash value enhancement to help offset the effect of early policy charges No surrender charge to provide flexibility and liquidity if they need access to their money Please reference Sample Illustration #2 14
Case Study #3 The Need The owners of an independent investment firm needed a way to ensure enough cash flow for a buyback program for individuals that left the company with equity ownership. Additionally, they had a clear need for cash if one of those equity owners were to die. Term insurance was considered, but it didn t provide the assets needed to cover the equity buyback program The company wanted to make the process as easy and as quick as possible The company had a specific obligation to its top 20 equity holders to ensure funds for the buyback This example is based upon a real case, different scenarios may have different outcomes. 15
Case Study #3 The Solution The investment firm decided to establish a buy/sell between the corporation and the top 20 equity holders of the company. The company determined to use corporate cash, the insurance cash surrender value and the insurance death benefits to offset the need of the liability The insurance design is an equal death benefit that is aggregately funded at the minimum non MEC levels that will be paid for seven years The corporate cash pool and cash surrender value from Nationwide s Future Executive UL product will be used to buyback equity holders as they leave the company The death benefit proceeds will be used as a cost recovery mechanism to meet their buy/sell obligations Additionally, because they had 20 participants and the life insurance design met the underwriting parameters, they were able to get the policies with guaranteed issue underwriting Please reference Sample Illustration #3 16
Case Study #4 The Need A law firm had a need to protect their investment in their partners in the form of a Key Person plan. They were seeking a way to help offset the loss of business and the funds to assist in recruiting replacement talent for their partners in the event of an untimely death. They wanted 4x s salary coverage Term insurance coverage would have provided the funds, but with an unknown duration, it was inefficient Additionally, with busy partners they wanted to have the insurance plan implemented with little to no hassle Majority of partners wanted the upside a VUL offers, but the business need required some certainty for planning purposes This example is based upon a real case, different scenarios may have different outcomes. 17
Case Study #4 The Solution The firm reviewed several product options and decided to move forward with Nationwide s Yourlife Executive Indexed UL. The product provided the death benefits they needed, while still providing them with more earning upside than a UL with minimal downside Since this product is designed for business use, the partners like that guaranteed issue and simplified issue underwriting may be available for their case Please reference Sample Illustration #4 18
