Levelizing taxes on fixed income investments
A smart strategy to promote with clients
Many clients choose fixed income investments because they are more stable and predictable than other investment types. However, there is a downside to this approach that many don’t think about – taxes, which increase as the investment grows. As an advisor, you can help clients reduce some of the money they pay in taxes by suggesting a different approach.
In most cases, fixed income investments are taxed yearly. To pay these taxes, clients usually take out some of the interest income earned, and leave the rest invested. This in turn increases the tax that must be paid on the interest earned the next year. As a result, a large amount of the investment income earned each year goes straight to taxes with a growing amount of tax that must be paid each year. You can show clients a solution that can help lower total taxes they pay on their fixed income investments.
The tax challenge
Using participating whole life (WL) insurance as part of a financial solution, you can help clients levelize their annual tax payment. And lower the cumulative tax they must pay on their fixed income investments.
The solution: levelize the tax
Each year the client takes out the full amount of the interest earned on the fixed income investment. They leave only the principal amount. Part of the interest income withdrawn is used to pay the taxes on the fixed income investment. The remaining amount is used to pay premiums for a participating WL policy. Because the client is leaving only the principal amount invested, the tax they pay each year is a levelized amount. This reduces the cumulative taxes they pay over the life of the fixed income investment.
How it works
With this solution, the value of the fixed income investment along with the potential value provided by the participating WL policy, can mean a higher estate value. And a lower cumulative tax bill than what can be achieved through only the fixed income investment.
The participating life insurance not only provides valuable life insurance coverage, but also offers tax-advantaged growth and the potential for dividends.
To help explain this concept to individual clients, feel free to share Levelize the tax on your fixed income investments with participating whole life (1799).
This concept also works with corporate owned participating whole life policies. Feel free to share Levelize the tax on fixed income investments with corporately-owned participating whole life (1874).
This solution isn’t just about lowering taxes. It’s about helping clients grow their money, plan for their future, and protect what matters most. As an advisor, guiding clients toward solutions that address both immediate and future needs can set you apart and help build trust.
