Create and Maintain a Sustainable
Benefits Plan

Corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) is a wise investment strategy for your organization to offset costs while insuring the lives of essential employees. A successful COLI program is implemented through personalized guidance on plan design combined with a forward thinking team to help with implementation and administration. The professionals at Muncaster are prepared with the experience and solutions to help.

COLI has several advantages that make it a favorable financial plan:

  • • Gains on policy cash value are tax-deferred and may, if held until the death, be income tax-free.
  • • Company access to cash values to fund plan distributions through withdrawals to basis and loans.
  • • Reallocation within the policy will not create taxable gains.
