Insurance Worth Living For...

Tax Minimization Strategies

TAX SHELTERED LIFE INSURANCE:

“Life Insurance is still an excellent investment tool…one of the few investments that allows for a tax sheltered accumulation of funds and at the same time covers the risk of death. The pre-tax compounding effect and the tax-free access to this accumulating fund are two of the attractions of life insurance. The tax free maturity on death is the ultimate plus”.

CA magazine, Published by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants

Universal Life can be a way to accumulate wealth on a tax-sheltered basis. If you like involvement and control over your finances, if you want life insurance that you can tailor to your changing needs over time, Universal Life may be best for you. One very attractive feature is the accumulation of investment returns that can be paid out to your beneficiary on a tax-sheltered basis at a later date.

Universal life insurance combines long-term insurance protection and significant tax-related and other financial benefits in a single tax-advantaged plan.

MORTGAGE INSURANCE:

MORTGAGE INSURANCE offered by your bank may be convenient, but if you are in good health, an individual insurance plan can provide superior coverage and value over the term of your mortgage. We recommend guaranteed rates with a death benefit that does NOT reduce with your mortgage.

ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN WITH:

  • Much LOWER COST than Bank Mortgage Insurance
  • Fully guaranteed level premiums For 20 years
  • Level coverage that does NOT decrease
  • Fully portable plan (does NOT teminate when you refinance or sell your home)
  • TAX-FREE benefits paid directly to your named beneficiary(ies)
