How about
"Advanced Underwriting Review"
We are planning the spring Quarterly and are looking for some ideas for the cover story. This issue will be the first with advertising and will be distributed at the Annual Meeting. Please respond with some suggestions of what topic we could cover that would be of interest to the membership.
Thanks!
What comments do you have as to what would make this site more usable for you and other members? Is it intuiative? Be specific. thx
nqdccal:
This is Erik in AALU's policy shop. I forwarded your question to our Qualified Plans Committee to see what some of their responses would be. I've pasted the comments below.
"First, life insurance cannot be held inside an IRA, so there would be a prohibitive transaction if the insurance were to be transferred there, regardless of the premium paying status. Secondly, the cash value can be rolled over, but a better strategy is to borrow or withdraw the cash value in the policy down to the cumulative PS/Table I charges that have been recognized annually over the life of the contract ( as income by the participant) and then distribute the policy with the only cash in the contract being an amount equal to these cumulative charges. This amount represents cost basis in the contract for the participant and would be distributed income tax free.
This approach would be advisable assuming the participant wants to maximize the amount that he/she rolls into the IRA. Other approaches are available should this not be the objective. This approach does not mandate the surrender of the policy; but the policy will have a loan against it when distributed."
And secondly:
"#1: I do not feel that there is any way that Life Insurance can be owned in an IRA unless acquired in 1974 thru about 1976 (when it was permitted).
#2: We don't know the age of the participant but if he is retiring he can "recapture" cost basis (the sum of all PS-58's) if he rolls the policy out. This "recapture" is forfeited if they cash the policy in before the transfer. This can be a significant number for a person with several policies….and it is 100% income tax free recovery.
#3: OR, can the participant justify his or her own business. For example could they form an LLC (one person LLC) that buys and sells on e-bay. Or anything else that might qualify as a business. Then the "new business" can adopt a "qualified plan" instead of an IRA and transfer all of the assets, including the life insurance, to the new Plan. If the business never makes it or fails they can maintain the PLAN as long as they wish."
Question. A 401(k) plan is being terminated and all assets for each plan participant will be rolled over to an IRA. One participant has several life insurance policies in the 401(k) with significant cash values. Could the participant transfer the policies to the IRA if there is no need to pay any further premiums or is does the prohibition on life insurance in an IRA apply regardless of any furher premium payments. If the policy can't be transferred would you suggest cashing in the policies before the roll over so the cash is part of the roll over and avoids any tax liability? Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Standard & Poor's (S&P) projects life insurance sales to grow 2 percent per year through 2008, down from 7 percent in 2006. This projected drop can be attributed to once strong sales of investor-owned life insurance (IOLI) and stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI) that could hamper future profits of the life insurance industry. When life insurance policies are underwritten, carriers often assume a certain percentage will lapse without payment, but with IOLI and STOLI, policies are more likely to be cashed in because they are used as investments. S&P analysts also note life insurers will come under increasing profit pressure from lower interest rates, tighter credit spreads, and lower private-equity investment payouts. The firm recommends life insurers bolster their growth through the sale of universal life insurance with secondary guarantees and other risky products with higher lapse rates.
The life insurance industry will keep a close eye on federal legislation this year, particularly with regard to PAYGO. Nonqualified deferred compensation and the inside buildup of life insurance will be among the many topics discussed in 2008, but Association for Advanced Life Underwriting (AALU) CEO David Stertzer insists that any bill up for consideration "will be viewed through the prism of how it will affect both parties' chances to win the White House in November." Stertzer says the Education Bill delayed by the U.S. Senate Finance Committee could include a provision involving nonqualified deferred compensation as a means of generating revenue. When a revised provision does emerge, it is believed that a $1 million cap will be imposed on deferred compensation plans, with earnings excluded from the cap. Meanwhile, AALU President Larry Raymond expresses concern about exempting only "mirror" non-elective pension plans- which offer the same contribution percentages as qualified retirement plans but for higher levels of compensation -and notes his organization will continue to press for "a full exemption for true non-elective arrangements." With regard to the federal estate tax, Stertzer is certain a vote will occur in 2008, and Raymond underscores the importance of long-term certainty for AALU members' clients. According to Raymond, "We need the right compromise enacted before we reach 2010—and that compromise absolutely needs to include the reunification of the lifetime gift and estate tax credits."
In Ohio, state Rep. Jay Hottinger (R-Newark) introduced legislation to alter the way stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI) is regulated. The bill went before the state House's subcommittee on Stranger Originated Life Insurance Reform on Dec. 18, where representatives from the life settlement industry testified. Another hearing was scheduled for Jan. 9, at which time lawmakers will look at amendments to the legislation. Ohio Department of Insurance director Mary Jo Hudson says STOLI targets the 65 to 85 age segment, and fraud could become a problem because these individuals typically do not understand policy terms.

Those are some great suggestions.
Ohio state legislators proposed a stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI) bill, and officials in New York appear to be composing STOLI legislation of their own. In 2007, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the National Conference of Insurance Legislators labored on STOLI provisions and other alterations for model laws connected to the life settlement and life insurance premium finance markets. States are launching their own initiatives to deal with concerns about STOLI arrangements. STOLI arrangement organizers locate investors who aid unrelated consumers in purchasing life insurance, primarily to generate policies for sale in the life settlement market. STOLI arrangement critics contend the arrangements breach state insurable interest laws and could endanger the laws that currently enable life insurance death benefits payments to be exempt from federal income taxes. Some say STOLI organizers circumvent efforts to deter STOLI arrangements by purchasing life insurance through trusts. The Ohio STOLI legislation would limit an insured's power to sell a policy for five years if certain conditions exist—if the pact to sell the policy was agreed upon before a consumer presented an application or if the deal was made before the insurer issued the policy. The Ohio bill would include exceptions for insureds who go through divorce or other life-changing events. In New York, the proposal may include a two-year limit on life policy sales, in addition to further regulation on the role of trusts in STOLI arrangements
Guidelines should be drawn up by the U.S. Treasury Department to make the elderly aware of the possible tax consequences of stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI) arrangements, U.S. House Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) and Rep. Phil English (R-PA), ranking minority member, wrote in a recent letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The lawmakers believe the Treasury should take action with regard to STOLI's tax liabilities, even though state laws governing these arrangements are outside the federal government's jurisdiction. STOLI transactions might involve split-dollar arrangements or come under cancellation of indebtedness rules, and there also are concerns about aggressive marketing tactics. The letter states, "In certain cases, the terms for the initial arrangement may not qualify as true indebtedness, thus exposing the insured to income inclusion. Also, depending on the value of the promotional incentive or cash payment, the insured could be taxed on the value of the promotion received. Depending upon the structure of the product, promoters may also be liable for information reporting." However, Reps. Neal and English do not want to put a damper on the secondary market for life insurance products.
IMPACT is held three time a year. We hold two 2-day IMPACTS, one in the fall in Washington, DC, and the second one is held early spring in a city other then DC (New Orleans for 2008). The third IMPACT, is a mini-IMPACT session held Sunday morning before the Annual meeting.
How often do you hold these seminars?
