Deep dives
Understanding Direct vs. Non-Direct Recognition
The distinction between direct and non-direct recognition policies significantly affects how insurance companies treat dividends on borrowed funds. In a direct recognition policy, the company lowers the dividends paid on the borrowed amount, acknowledging the loan's impact on available cash values. Conversely, non-direct recognition policies maintain full dividend payments regardless of loans taken, which may sound advantageous to many. However, this difference often becomes negligible for policyholders, as individual financial situations and borrowing habits play a crucial role in determining which policy type may ultimately serve them best.
