Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)

I.R.C. § 7702

What is a Private Placement Life Insurance?

​Private Placement Life Insurance (“PPLI”) is a form of variable universal life insurance having two components, an investment account and a death benefit. Private Placement Variable Annuity (“PPVA”), is a form of a variable annuity, and is a life insurance contract whose investment account value fluctuates with the portfolio of underlying assets. Both are offered privately to Accredited Investors and Qualified Purchasers.

Core Value:

  • Primarily, it is an investment-oriented opportunity and decision, as it establishes a tax-free investment environment at a very low cost where there are a number of investment alternatives. ENSPIRE’s product lets the Investment Advisor manage the assets paid into the insurance policy (PPVUL & PPVA).
  • The death benefit value of the policy is generally considered a secondary benefit (PPVUL only).

Tax Benefits include:

  • Tax-deferred earnings – dividends, interest, and capital gains (PPVUL & PPVA).
  • Tax-free access to cash value through withdrawals up to cost-basis (PPVUL only).
  • Tax-free access to cash value through policy loans (PPVUL only).
  • Policy beneficiaries receive policy proceeds on a tax-free basis at the death of the insured (PPVUL only).
