Advantages of COLI
Qualified Plans
Non-Qualified
Plans
COLI is an affordable and efficient method for financing nonqualified plans – provides tax-free dollars
when they’re needed the most
Each plan creates an “obligation” or liability for the company:
SERPs Deferred Compensation ESOPs
Buy-Out or Pay-Out
Obligations
Group Insurance(life, disability, medical, other)
15
Basic Mechanics of How COLI WorksFollowing the guidelines of §101(j) - COLI Best Practices
Group of management or highly compensated employees
Consent to be insured
The company is the owner and beneficiary
Death benefit is tax-free*
All earnings are tax-deferred
Account balance is an asset
*Death benefit is tax-free based on proper design
Annual filing of Form 8925
16
COLI as a Vehicle to Facilitate Yield / Enhance Earnings
Favorable tax treatment:
Permanent tax deferral under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP )– No tax on inside “build up” of cash surrender value (CSV)– No tax on unrealized gains
Purchaser is the owner of the policy and beneficiary of the death benefit– Death benefits are tax-free to the company
17
Why Banks & Insurance Companies Use COLI as a Financial Vehicle
Investment platform in the case of “Separate Accounts” products
Improvement in tax adjusted yield
Clear regulatory guidance exists
Banks have purchased $140B+ of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)
Insurance companies have purchased $20B+ of Insurance Company Owned Life Insurance (ICOLI)
