Prestige Max

There are three main types of options to save for retirement.

1. CD’s – CD’s are a safe option typically offered through banks and credit unions. CDs offer steady growth and are a very safe option.
2. Investments – Investment examples may include 401K, 403b, 457, and traditional IRAs. These are market-based growth tools that offer tax deferral. Market-based investments offer high growth potential but also carry higher risk. A great point to remember is that a 401K, 403b, 457 is a qualified wrapper that can be funded with a CD, investment, etc. The 401k, 403b, etc. is not the actual investment.
3. Prestige Max – Using Prestige Max for cash accumulation is a lower risk option with high return potential. Prestige Max offers more flexibility for tax-free income.

Prestige Max

Tax-free retirement not only offers access to a tax-free income but also a tax-free death benefit which can be used for legacy or estate planning. Not only can you fund a tax free income but you are offering protection for your family in the event of an untimely death. You can use income streams to reimburse taxes paid on other products.

Living Benefits

You have access to most of your cash by year three and can use it for anything. For example, if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness such as cancer, you can access your cash to use while you are still living. The remaining death benefit will be paid out to the policy beneficiary at time of death.

Restriction on contributions

This is a big deal when you consider the annual limitations you have on contributing to your retirement plans to products such as IRAs, 401k, 403b, etc. When using Prestige Max for tax-free retirement, you can exceed the ERISA thresholds. Simply said, you can contribute larger amounts to a tax-free retirement plan than the other traditional retirement strategies.

No Restrictions on Early Distribution

Unlike traditional retirement plans which have penalties for early withdrawal before age 59 ½, Prestige Max cash value can be accessed at any point it is available to you. There are no limits and we will set up your contributions based on your tax-free retirement goal.

FAFSA Income Limits

It is important to know that when using Prestige Max for college savings plans the cash value doesn’t count towards the income or asset calculation for FAFSA. This creates a great scenario for you to use life insurance to save for college while also allowing access to financial aid. This is a win-win.
