Episode 8 - Myth 6 - You Don’t Need Life Insurance

Many financial services professionals today believe their clients do not need insurance because they are self-insured.

Insurance is a way to transfer risk and by taking away that risk, you no longer need to worry about absorbing that risk.

Pension maximization is a financial strategy that has the potential to increase retirement income by combining the benefits of permanent life insurance with aspects of a defined benefit pension plan, particularly in cases where the pension participant may choose between a Life Only Benefit and a Joint and Survivor benefit, which pays a benefit for as long as the plan participant or a surviving spouse lives.
