Self Owned Life And Retirement (S.O.L.A.R.) Insurance Arrangements : A flexible tool for changing times
In todays environment of increasing national deficits and a struggling economy, many people believe that income tax rates are likely to go up in the future. Do you have clients with savings in qualified retirement plans such as 401(k) plans or traditional IRAs? Are your clients concerned about the potential impact increasing income tax rates would have on distributions from these retirement plans? If so, your clients may be interested in paying income taxes now and creating a potential source of tax-free retirement income.

Take distributions from a qualified retirement plan and use the money to pay premiums on an ING Indexed Universal Life Global Plus (ING IUL-Global Plus) insurance policy. Using Select Loans, borrow money from the ING IUL-Global Plus policy to pay the income taxes owed on the distributions from the clients qualified retirement plans. Upon reaching retirement age (or earlier if needed), use the ING IUL-Global Plus policys cash accumulation values as a source of potentially tax-free income.
Step 1

The first step is to take distributions from a qualified retirement plan. Unfortunately, distributions from these plans prior to age 59 will be subject to a 10% penalty unless the distribution falls within a permissible exception. One such exception is to use a series of substantially equal periodic payments as defined in Internal Revenue Code 72(t).

There are three methods for calculating a series of distributions under 72(t). In this example, the Annuitization Method allows for a higher level of annual distributions. Once the client is past age 59 he can move the funds out at an increased rate without penalties.

Once the client has used these gross distributions to pay premiums for an ING IULGlobal Plus policy, he can pay the taxes due using Select Loans which results in a Net Annual Outlay of zero.

ING IUL- Global Plus has the option to use Select Loans. This hypothetical illustration assumes the Select Loans are used to pay the tax on the bonuses during the premium paying years. Select Loans are policy loans in which an amount equal to the loan or loan interest due remains in the Fixed Strategy and/or Indexed Strategy as elected by the policy owner. The interest rate charged on the Loan Amount for a Select Loan is fixed at 6.00% per year, regardless of the index credits earned and/or the credited interest rates. In addition, the ING IUL- Global Plus policy allows for the loan option to be changed from Select Loans to Traditional Loans once during the lifetime of the policy. Here, we assume a switch to a Traditional Loans at retirement. Traditional Loans are policy loans in which an amount equal to the loan or loan interest due is added to the Policy Loan Account (and therefore does not remain in the Fixed Strategy and/or Indexed Strategy) and is credited and charged with an annual interest rate (declared by the insurance company). The use of Traditional Loans provide the potential for more predictable results than Select Loans. The use of Select Loans to pay income taxes on bonuses during the premium paying years results in a zero Net Annual Outlay to the employee. Select Loans have the risk that policy performance may be lower than projected if the amount credited to the account value in the Indexed Strategy is less than the 6% interest charged on the policy loan. Detailed additional information about policy loans is located in the policy form and any personal policy illustration.
Step 3

At retirement age (or sooner) the client can begin taking distributions from the ING IULGlobal Plus insurance policy. For example, assuming our hypothetical illustration, the client has the potential for distributions of $44,647 for 25 years beginning at age 65.*

But unlike a qualified retirement plan, there are no required distributions from a S.O.L.A.R. Insurance Arrangement. So, for example, if the client prefers to wait until age 75 before beginning to take distributions, he has the potential for distributions of $94,629 for 25 years.*

Or the client can simply leave all of the accumulated cash values in the ING IUL-Global Plus policy and retain it for its valuable death benefits. With a S.O.L.A.R. Insurance Arrangement, the client is in control and can choose how best to use the life insurance policy to meet his goals.
*Assumes an 8.2% crediting rate, 100% election to the indexed strategy and current charges. Results are significantly lower using a 1% rate and guaranteed maximum charges and the policy will lapse in year 1. In addition, none of the illustrated policy loans and partial withdrawals will be available.
