Keep More For Retirement
For high-income earners who want protection and accumulation to last a lifetime.
Through hard work and determination, you are considered within the top 10% of all wage earners in the United States. Your income provides you a better lifestyle than most, but this has its disadvantages and restrictions from saving enough to maintain your lifestyle throughout your retirement.
Our Strategy have the potential to provide you…
Up to an additional three times more money added to your strategy. Tax advantages when you are ready to take distributions in retirement. Growth and protection, that will give you and your family options.
Kai-Zen®Everyone wants to maintain the same quality of life in retirement, congruent with a steady cash flow that allows you to continue living out your dreams and look after loved ones while maintaining a cushion of cash for extreme medical conditions, should anything happen.
This comes at high cost. People like yourself struggle to save the 30-35% of income needed. Kai-Zen® gives you additional cash in the form of leverage, to help you bridge the funding gap.
What makes this strategy unique is you don’t have to qualify, be bound by a loan, pay interest or incur personal liability.
Is it right for you?
- Highly compensated individuals below age 65.
- Earning $100,000+ per year.
- Standard or better health.
The problem with fixed income today is that you don’t get any return and you don’t have protection when interest rates rise. Kai-Zen uses a life insurance product where costs are minimalized. It is over funded to the point where insurance costs become minimal, so you have a massive surplus of cash value. This grows tax deferred and can be accessed through policy loans, which are generally not taxable. It is incredibly tax efficient. However, what’s different is that your payments are just the seed capital. Kai-Zen then leverages up your contribution, up to three times! Because the policy is so safe, the lender does not need to underwrite you for the loan at all. No contracts, no interest payments no personal guarantees. It truly is a safer loan, in comparison to the one you probably used to mortgage your house. The combined premium is put into an Index Universal Life policy (IUL). IUL’s are used because, based on industry data, they have the potential to grow over time, on average 2% more than fixed income. This is not guaranteed, it is risk premium, but not as risky as a stocks. Because in any year the index is negative you record zero return not a loss. From an asset risk perspective, it is midway between a bond and a stock.
This 2% risk premium gives you extra yield, but what really makes the difference is the extra cash put in by the lender. Statistically you will get an additional +2.25% on the lender’s money. So, let’s look at a hypothetical math example… If the bond portfolio is yielding 2%, you would expect an IUL to average 4% over time (2%+2%). With Kai-Zen you have the potential for 60-100% more. Using this hypothetical example, you would achieve 6.4% to 8% given the assumptions stated. This cannot be guaranteed. This strategy is driven by standard industry economics that has been in place since 1930. In addition, the designs have been stress tested through Great Depression and high interest rate scenarios. It is critical to remember these are life insurance policies, and so include the protections associated with them. Such as, death benefit and living benefits. They also include substantial tax advantages. If your money is invested but you are looking for an alternative to medium to long term bonds then Kai-Zen it likely to be very attractive.

Taking Care of Business
For business leaders, wanting to provide life-enhancing benefits to their employees.
Business leaders know that recruiting and retaining great talent is critical for firm growth and maintaining a competitive advantage, a massive challenge in today’s environment. With more baby boomer’s retiring, there is less available to train future talent. This means potential employees can demand higher salaries, more benefits, and even signing bonuses.
Our strategies offer business owners potential solutions.
Improving solutions that can significantly enhance the benefits they offer, without substantially increasing costs or liabilities. Our solutions can help provide enhancements to current recruit and retainment issues.
Solutions to problems such as buy/sell, key-man, succession planning, and many other executive benefits in need of a little renovation. Our strategies can either increase the benefits provided to your employee by 60-100% or can reduce the employer costs by 30-50%.
Did You Know
Recruiting and retaining top talent is the number one concern of CEO’s in the US. 401(k), employee health coverage, and bonuses are simply not enough to have an advantage over your competition. If your benefit plan is offering 60-100% more in return than your competitors, recruiting and retaining just became a lot easier. NIW’s strategies offer additional financing. Giving you the ability to outspend your competitors on benefits for your core team. This strategy also complies with no increases to your budget.

What is Kai-Zen?
Kai-Zen is a strategy that helps you maintain your current lifestyle in the event of a chronic illness, premature death, or an inability to sufficiently save for retirement. Protecting your earnings is critical to insuring your ability to save for retirement. Due to limitations, traditional retirement plans are typically insufficient for high-income earners. If you want to maintain your lifestyle in retirement, you need a proactive strategy that puts more money toward protecting your future income without putting a drain on your current finances.
Kai-Zen is the ONLY strategy that uses leverage to help you acquire more of the benefits you need to financially protect you and your family. Its unique fusion of financing and life insurance offers you more protections and the potential to earn more for retirement than you could obtain without leverage.

How It Works
The Kai-Zen strategy is simple. Premiums are jointly funded by bank financing and the participant or employer. The bank financing provides the majority of the total contribution to the plan, and the life insurance policy itself is the full security for the loan. This strategy is specifically designed so that the participant is not required to go through financial underwriting or sign any loan documents. As an additional protection, Kai-Zen’s structure is also set up to protect your benefits in the event of employer bankruptcy.
By using bank financing, the Kai-Zen strategy allows you to realize benefits beyond your expectations while keeping contributions within your means.
This concept is not much different than financing a house – you use a mortgage to leverage the assets you have on hand to buy more house than you could afford on your own. Money is borrowed to buy more house, or with Kai-Zen, more benefits. With Kai-Zen, you are buying a life insurance policy with a larger death benefit, more living benefit protections, and the potential for more cash accumulation without the risk of losses (due to declines in a market index).
