MoneyGuard Sales Ideas - Notes from the Field

The following sales ideas come from active agents in the field. These are all actual cases, however, none should be used as an illustration.

August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April


Highlighted Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

Raleigh NC - We have a broker (a Financial Planner) who has written 4 MoneyGuard cases in the past 5 weeks. He uses the concept of employing clients low velocity assets to fund the MoneyGuard program. He is very hands on with his client's asset allocation programs and his clients have been significantly impressed with the "leverage" they have been able to achieve by transferring the low yielding portion of their portfolio into MoneyGuard.

For example, one client with $250,000 of his substantial portfolio in low yielding CDs transferred $100,000 into MoneyGuard. The MoneyGuard policy provides the client with Life Insurance coverage of $173,656 and Long Term Care coverage of $7,236 per month for 6 years.

August Sales Idea:

The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

One of our brokers has a female client age 67. She has a substantial estate, part of which is invested in money market instruments yielding about 1%. Our broker discussed the potential shrinkage in her estate in the event she needs Long Term Care. She was concerned enough to listen to a discussion of MoneyGuard. Our broker showed her how MoneyGuard could cover the Long Term Care risk and at the same time maintain the values in her estate in the event of her death. Our broker also advised that transferring some of the cash in her money market instruments would provide greater security to her estate. She and her lawyer agreed that the plan made sense.

The result:

  • Premium: $ 200,000
  • Death Benefit: $ 342,267
  • LTC Benefits: $ 1,026,801 (payable monthly at $14,261 for 6 years)

In 10 years at current rates the surrender value of the MoneyGuard will be larger than what the $200,000 would have grown to in the current money market instruments.

September Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

One of our brokers has a male client age 57. The client wanted to purchase an annual premium Long Term Care policy with 5% compound inflation protection and a $200 per day benefit. Unfortunately, the cost of this policy is prohibitive and the client could only afford a policy with a $100 per day benefit. However, our broker knew that the client had a $140,000 whole life policy with a total cash surrender value of $45,000. The broker suggested that the client do a 1035 exchange of the existing life insurance policy into a Moneyguard policy. After a brief discussion of how Moneyguard works, the client agreed to the plan and the broker made the sale of two policies.

The result:

Sale 1: 1035 Exchange MoneyGuard application with the following important numbers.

  • Premium: $ 45,000
  • Death Benefit $ 80,230
  • Long Term Care Benefit: $240,696 (Initial Benefit- $3,343 per month for 6 years)

Maximum LTC Benefit is substantially higher because of 5% compound inflation rider.

Sale 2: MoneyGuard Flex II application with the following important numbers.

  • Premium: $ 2,536 annually for life
  • Death Benefit: $ 64,800
  • Long term Care Benefit: $194,400 (Initial Benefit- $2,700 per month for 6 years)

Maximum LTC Benefit is substantially higher because of 5% compound inflation rider.

The client now has a total LTC benefit of $6,043 per month (which will increase annually at 5%), and his life insurance coverage of $140,000 has been replaced with death benefits in the two policies totaling $145,030.

October Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

One of our brokers has a male client age 70. The client is retired and has a very healthy pension, and other income from a deferred compensation plan. In addition he has an IRA account worth $75,000 and his plan (like the plan of many his age) is to take the absolute minimum required distribution from the IRA and leave the balance of the account to his children. He has decided to self insure for Long Term Care, but is open to other ideas. Our broker suggested that he transfer the Long Term Care risk from self insurance to MoneyGuard using the Flex II contract, and to fund the Flex II contract with a Single Premium Immediate Annuity purchased inside the IRA. The client felt the plan made sense and applied for two policies.

The result:

Sale 1: Single Premium Annuity from F&G purchased inside the IRA

  • Premium: $ 75,000
  • Annual Annuity Payment: $ 7,368
  • The annuity payment is taxable and the after tax income from the annuity is $5,305 annually.

Sale 2: MoneyGuard Flex II application with the following important numbers.

  • Premium: $ 5,305 annually for life
  • Death Benefit: $ 78,018
  • Long term Care Benefit: $234,054 (Initial Benefit- $3,251 per month for 6 years)

The client now has a LTC benefit of $3,251 per month and the funds in the IRA that his children would have received (net after taxes) has been replaced by income tax free death benefits of the Flex II policy.

November Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

One of our brokers has a female client age 65. The client has been to a couple Long Term Care seminars and has rejected the idea of purchasing a Long Term Care policy for two reasons.

1.) The premium seems to be too expensive to her.

2.) She has had good health and longevity in her family and feels that she will most likely never need Long Term Care.

As a result, she has earmarked $200,000 of her savings and investments to cover the potential risk of Long Term Care. Our broker having recently attended our Web Seminar on MoneyGuard had just the idea to fit this client's needs. She explained that with MoneyGuard the client would have no risk of losing her premium since it would either take care of her Long Term Care needs or be distributed to her heirs upon the clients demise … or she would always have the guarantee of getting all of her money back

The result:

A MoneyGuard application with the following important numbers.

Premium: $ 75,000
Death Benefit: $ 140,834
Long term Care Benefit: $ 422,502 ($5,868 per month for 6 years)

The client now has a LTC benefit of $5,868 per month and she has freed up $125,000 of the funds she had earmarked to cover the risk of Long Term Care.

December Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

Year end planning:

One of our brokers has a male client age 63 (a widower with two grown children). The client has recently retired with a generous pension and he also has approximately $800,000 in his IRA.

The client had decided to self insure his Long Term Care risk by allocating funds in his IRA account. Our broker having recently attended our Web Seminar on MoneyGuard had just the idea to fit this client's needs. He explained that with MoneyGuard the client would have better control over his IRA account and insure the Long Term Care Risk by using two distributions from his IRA in two separate tax years. After studying the proposal the client decided to take 2 distributions from his IRA, one in December and one in January for $50,000 each. The after tax value of both these distributions is $80,000. And the client used that to fund the MoneyGuard policy.

The result:

A MoneyGuard application with the following important numbers.

Premium: $ 80,000
Death Benefit: $ 148,127
Long term Care Benefit: $ 444,312 ($6,171 per month for 6 years)

The client now has a LTC benefit of $6,171 per month and in the event he needs Long Term Care and if he never needs Long Term Care, his heirs will receive $148,127 income tax free rather than the taxable $100,000 they would have received from the IRA.

January Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

Estate Re-Planning:

One of our brokers has a husband & wife client who are age 68 & 67. The clients did estate planning 12 years ago when they owned a successful business. They have since retired and sold their business and they are concerned that the amount of annual premiums they are paying on Survivorship Life Insurance purchased as a result of that planning is too much and that the coverage may also be far more than they originally needed.

Our broker in concert with the client's accountant and attorney determined that the amount of Survivorship Life insurance necessary for their situation could be reduced from $1,000,000 to less than $100,000. The clients are under the assumption that the estate tax will be eliminated completely and that they will not have a need for any Survivorship Life insurance. Their current Survivorship Life insurance policy has a cash surrender value of $187,000, and they could elect paid up life insurance of $340,000. Our broker who also had discussed Long Term Care insurance with the couple advised that instead of taking a paid up policy, they do a 1035 exchange into a MoneyGuard policy. After outlining the benefits of the MoneyGuard to the couple, they were convinced that it made sense.

The result:

A MoneyGuard LS (Last Survivor) application with the following important numbers.

Premium: $ 187,000
Death Benefit: $ 291,346
Long term Care Benefit: $ 437,019 ($6,070 per month for 6 years for each spouse)

The clients now each have a LTC benefit of $6,070 per month and in the event neither of them needs Long Term Care their heirs will receive $291,346.

February Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

Denver, CO - A new broker received a promotional piece from USFMG regarding MoneyGuard. He had never heard of this product, but when he read the details of the policy, he immediately contacted one of his clients who had previously told him she did not want to buy Long Term Care Insurance. Her reasons were that she didn't like the idea of paying high premiums for something she may never use.

He explained that with MoneyGuard, she would have guaranteed LTC coverage and that if she never needed Long Term Care her premium payment would not be lost, but would be payable to her family in the form of an income tax free death benefit. In addition, she would only be risking the loss of interest on the premium, since the entire premium was also guaranteed to be given back to her in the event she wanted to surrender the policy.

She purchased a policy with a $100,000 premium providing her with $225,241 of Death Benefits and $9,385 of monthly Long Term Care benefits for 6 years (total LTC benefit $675,720)

March Sales Idea:
The USBroker MoneyGuard Sales Idea of the Month

Odessa, TX - A Financial Advisor met with a 77 year old female client who was interested in Long Term Care Insurance. Her client is concerned with Long Term Care, but at her age the annual premiums seem too high. The Financial Advisor came up with the idea of using a 1035 exchange of other insurance policies to fund a single premium MoneyGuard policy. The client was impressed enough to apply for a MoneyGuard policy.

She purchased a policy with a $50,000 premium providing her with $57,044 of Death Benefits and $2,253 of monthly Long Term Care benefits for 4 years (total LTC benefit $114,088)
