WEALTH TALKS

8 Dec 2020

PPLI vs. Trust

In this webinar, we shall compare Private Placement Life Insurance (policy) with a Trust.

The panelists will discuss the following: 

​

(a)    Core features of a policy and trust, including an explanation of terms such as “cash value”, “insurable interest”, “policy distribution”, and related trust terms such as “fiduciary office”, “fiduciary obligation”, and “reserved powers”;

​

(b)    Lifecycle differences in settling a trust and subscribing to a policy will also be compared, using the case of a transfer of shares in a company (in specie subscription);

​

(c)    Lifecycle differences in the administration of a trust and policy will be compared, split into:

  • Control: methods to retain control under a trust compared to a policy, particularly in relation to governance and control of an underlying company;

  • Benefit: methods to extract benefits from a trust compared to a policy, including a discussion of policyholder redemptions and policy beneficiary distributions;  

  • Asset Protection: asset protection attributes of a trust and policy compared, particularly in relation to succession, divorce, community property and creditor claims; 

  • Taxation: tax treatment of a trust and policy compared, with recent changes to Indonesia tax law used to illustrate; 

  • Transparency: financial account reporting (CRS) of a trust and policy during each lifecycle event will also be compared and contrasted.

​

(d)    Termination of trust and policy will also be compared, including possible considerations that may arise where a settlor passes away as compared to a policyholder;

​

(e)    Finally, we shall consider the combination use of a trust with a PPLI, both in the context of a trust as a policy beneficiary, as well as the case where there is an assignment of a policy into trust.
