Retirement Income
There is probably no more important financial goal for clients than meeting their retirement income needs. Many of today's low-cost, Commission-Free annuities can enhance your clients’ retirement income in ways traditional strategies often can’t. If you're looking to generate retirement income for your client, the annuity types below should be considered.
Principal Protection
Utilizing insurance to protect principal can provide meaningful benefits to a client's portfolio, as well as to their peace of mind. DPL’s offering of Commission-Free solutions can provide hedging strategies, fixed returns or complete downside protection.
Annuity Rescue+
It’s likely that many of your clients already own at least one annuity. Commission-Free annuities can be leveraged to add value beyond just cost savings. DPL works with our members to analyze clients’ existing annuity policies to determine if there is a more cost-effective alternative or additional benefits a no-load solution can bring to the financial plan.
Legacy Planning
For many clients leaving a legacy to heirs is a high priority in their financial plan. There is no more certain way to accomplish this goal than through insurance.
Wealth Accumulation
Permanent life insurance policies, once the commission is eliminated, provide benefits which can be powerful for wealth accumulation. Without a hefty commission being removed from premiums, client assets grow and can be withdrawn tax free.
Tax Deferral
Some asset classes benefit from tax deferral more than others. Investing fixed income, funds with high turnover or alternatives in a tax-deferred vehicle can maximize the impact of tax deferral.
