Baker Tilly Wealth Management’s insurance policy review results in a new policy option with no premium for a high-net-worth client

Read how our insurance policy review process identified a new policy option with no annual premium.

Client background and challenge

A 63-year-old high-net-worth male, who was a nonsmoker, had an insurance policy that offered a $869,185 death benefit, an annual premium of $9,870, net cash surrender valued at $451,136 and guaranteed coverage until the age of 100.

The client was in search of a new policy that would increase the age of guaranteed coverage and decrease his annual premium payment.

Approach and results

After reviewing the client’s policy, Baker Tilly Wealth Management found an option in which the client could stop paying premiums, resulting in the client saving over $9,000 per year. In addition, the new policy increased the client’s death benefit by $35,000 and increased the age of guaranteed coverage from 100 to 105.
