Private Placement Life Insurance
Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) is a specialized form of life insurance designed for high-net-worth individuals who seek tax-efficient wealth management, investment flexibility, and estate planning.
The client establishes a life insurance policy with via a premium payment,
which is invested in a customized portfolio of eligible assets managed by professional investment managers (banks, external asset managers).
Usually, clients will transfer an existing investment management into the policy. The policyholder benefits from the life insurance structure,
while the underlying investments can grow within the policy with a tax deferral.

-
Tax efficiency: Tax-deferred investment growth and tax advantages on policy proceeds, depending on the jurisdiction and applicable regulations.
-
Investment flexibility: Access to a broad range of eligible investment strategies and asset classes, tailored to the client's objectives.
-
Wealth preservation: A structure designed to support long-term capital growth and intergenerational wealth transfer.
-
Estate planning: Life insurance benefits can provide liquidity for beneficiaries and facilitate succession planning.
-
Confidentiality and structuring: A potentially discreet and flexible wealth-planning solution, subject to local disclosure and reporting requirements.
