Episode notes
Definition and Nature of PPLI
- Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) combines life insurance with an investment component and varies by jurisdiction.
- In the US, PPLI is tied to private placement rules, while outside US it's more about tailored investment options.
Onshore vs Offshore PPLI Differences
- US onshore policies have strict regulatory filings limiting customization under state insurance laws.
- Offshore policies in Bermuda allow broader investment manager flexibility while maintaining US tax compliance.
Use Offshore for Asset Protection
- High-risk professions in litigious environments benefit from offshore policies due to stronger creditor protection.
- Offshore policies shield assets better and delay creditor access compared to domestic policies.
