Stir the Pot - Cook Up New Sales
4
Agenda Using Total Needs Analyses Software Uncover Needs Prepare for Compliance Stir the Money Pot – Three Selling Ideas CI to Protect RRSPs Quick Pay Mortgage and UL Guaranteed Pay – Alternative to RRSP AXA Marketing Initiatives - 2006
5
Why use a needs analysis tool? Uncover additional needs Professionalism Compliance trends Quebec Agent disclosure Conflict disclosure Increases compensation
6
Common problems with needs analysis tools Overly complex Time consuming Stand alone tool not integrated into quote system Multiple pages Changes cost money – print, print, print
7
AXA Needs Analysis Built into the AXA software Accurate Comprehensive Easy to use One page snapshot of assets and liabilities Professional appearance Launch pad for AXA life quotes
8
Needs Analysis – Discovery First meeting objective: Determine the amount of coverage required Assets and liabilities Existing insurance coverage Goals and objectives Don’t forget the “Soft’ questions – feeling & finding
9
Needs Analysis - The report One page snap shot Net worth statement Defines the need
10
Stirring the Pot…. Total Needs Analyses highlights weaknesses in planning Clients often accept need for insurance – just do not want to pay for it (or feel they can not afford it) Needs Analyses highlights spending patterns Stir the Pot – take existing monies and re- allocate to achieve same goals while providing additional flexibility
11
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs If a critical illness strikes…… RRSPs designed for retirement use but often client’s only savings Fully taxable upon withdrawal – not efficient use of savings Long term financial plans based on compounding of growth i.e. time money is invested Restoring savings likely to be difficult
12
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs Solution: Contribute less to RRSP and purchase CI with ROP benefit Ensures that RRSP remains intact in event of Critical Illness More funds available to effectively deal with critical Illness “Redirecting” savings will have minimal effect on retirement income
13
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs Facts Husband and wife, aged 40 and 38 Family income of $75,000 annually Husband works full-time; wife part-time 2 children, own home RRSP total savings currently of $20,000 and plan to contribute $3,000 per year to retire at 65
14
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs Alternate Strategy “Re-direct money” into CI to protect savings and provide funds in the event of a critical illness Buy $25,000 CI with ROP on husband Cost - $476 annually* * AXA T-75 Enhanced CI plan with FROP
15
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs Continue as is: By age 69, RRSPs grow to $341,127* Redirect monies to CI policy: RRSP grows to $302,210* ROP of $14,295 Total savings = $316,505 In first year of RRIF, $24,622 difference represents approx. $100 per month, before taxes * 6% annual compounded growth
16
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs If illness strikes and RRSP savings used, RRSP only grows to $226,256 at age 70 Monthly income difference in excess of $358 per month CI monthly payment results in minimal income drop yet ensures retirement income plan stays in place If death occurs, CI premiums refunded
17
Critical Illness Insurance & RRSPs Use proposed RRSP $$$ to buy CI Client does not have to look for “new” money Keeps retirement plans in place Provides more money if critical illness occurs (CI proceeds not taxable) AND reduces stress about future Minimal affect on retirement income Have insured client at “no cost”
18
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life General wisdom is to pay home off quickly…. Accelerated weekly payments reduces cash flow Families often do without financial necessities Disability income replacement Emergency funds Permanent life insurance
19
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Solution: Make monthly mortgage payments and purchase Universal Life Insurance Cash build up inside plan provides income in case of need Mortgage can still be retired at desired date Financial flexibility if circumstances change (for better or worse) Increased life insurance protection, including paid up permanent protection
20
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Facts Husband age 42; wife age 40 Jointly owned mortgage of $250,000 Pay $416 per week* ($1,805 per month) Bank mortgage insurance costs $105 per month May inherit from parents in 20 – 30 years No savings other than RRSPs * 6.45% 5 yr. term; 25 yr ammort.;
21
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Alternate Strategy Purchase $25,000 Universal Life Insurance on wife Add T-20 riders: $250,000 on him; $225,000 on her Pay mortgage monthly - $1,667 per month Fund UL with difference in mortgage and insurance costs Pay off mortgage fully in 20 years, if desired
22
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Continue as is…. Mortgage will be paid in full in 21 years (4 years earlier than if paid monthly) No permanent life insurance Declining life insurance coverage; no ability to convert; not transportable No emergency fund Only savings in RRSP
23
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Re-allocate $244 per month (difference in weekly/monthly mtge. costs) to UL* Flexibility now to withdraw cash in event of disability, job loss, education needs or other unforeseen needs Enhanced life insurance protection: Term riders with level, convertible coverage Permanent coverage *40 FNS,Pact II, T-100, 6%ROI
24
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Accelerated payments - mortgage retired at end of year 21 Monthly mortgage schedule - $70,546 owing at end of year 21 UL Fund Value – est. $71,572 at end of year 21 Taxes on Fund – approx. $14,000, if owner still working
25
Quick Pay Mortgage and Universal Life Mortgage retired on schedule, no increase in monthly family expenses Couple has minimum of $500,000 of life protection throughout period, all of which can be made permanent if desired Cash available for emergencies from year 1 Estate planning already in place if circumstances change (Inheritance? New job?) Works well increasing rate environment
26
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs RRSPs great …. Tax-Deferred Growth Annual Tax Reductions But can be too much of a good thing.… Access to money limited – no flexibility $$$ taken into income – could affect OAS; income tax rate Taxes have to be paid - at death, estate reduced significantly
27
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Solution: Reduce or stop RRSP contributions and purchase high cash value, limited pay guaranteed life insurance Retirement income unaffected Enhanced flexibility in using retirement income Estate planning solidified
28
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Facts 50 yr. old female – current RRSP valued at $250,000 Contributes $10,000 annually into her RRSP RRSP to be primary source of retirement income Would like to leave a legacy
29
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Alternate Strategy Use “usual” RRSP contributions to purchase limited pay life insurance with guaranteed cash values Stop future contributions to RRSP Leave existing RRSPs to compound Purchase $300,000 limited pay Horizon 65 at $6,700 per year
30
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Continue as is: Base RRSP grows to $801,784* @ age 70 New contributions add additional $238,998 @ age 65* Purchase $300,000 Horizon 65 using equivalent of net proceeds of RRSP contributions ($6,700/yr.) Guaranteed CSV @ age 65 = $150,000 6% return compounded annually
31
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Access to cash in policy flexible: Borrow – proceeds tax-free; capitalize costs Leverage – structure deal with lender; proceeds tax-free Withdraw – net approx. $137,471* - insurance lapses Only last option affects income *Assume 30% tax rate, based on ACB
32
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs Access to RRSP monies limited Monies can only be brought into income at marginal rate Contributions for 15 years = $238,998 Taken as lump sum at age 65, proceeds would net approx. $131,449* Loss of OAS *Assume 45% tax rate
33
Limited Pay Insurance and RRSPs At some point, RRSP represents major tax liability Guaranteed pay insurance provides flexibility in planning; no loss in retirement income OAS will not be affected Bonus - $300,000 of Life Insurance fully paid at age 65 EDB to age 60
34
Summary Comprehensive, written Needs Analysis provides Professional assessment of client’s position using THEIR numbers Highlights total current financial situation Exposes both short term and long term needs
35
Summary Insurance products enable client to: Achieve financial and life-style goals Provide greater security Introduce flexibility into family budget All the above, at no additional “cost” to the client Win – Win
