Funding Agreements
– what are they?

Funding Agreements are uninsured deposit contracts issued by an insurance company. Similar to a CD, you select the term (or ladder several terms) and the insurance company provides a fixed interest for that duration. Unlike a CD there is no FDIC or NCUA insurance; principal and interest are backed by the financial strength and credit risk of the carrier’s general account.

There is no named insured or death benefit like with life insurance, so the transaction is significantly simplified:

  • Interest is credited at fixed rates
  • Principal and interest are guaranteed by the financial strength and credit
    quality of the general account
  • They provide a rate of return over a specified period of time ranging from
    one to ten years
  • It is purchased by an entity and not tied to any individual mortality
  • There are no death benefits or insurance charges

Rates as of 2024-05-01

Compensation is one-time at commencement of the term. The minimum purchase is $250,000. Ask us for rates if you are interested in durations of 6-10 years.
