Greetings, I'm Jim Barlow, representing OakTree Premium Finance.

At OakTree, we specialize in one exceptional product – Kai-Zen. This enhanced, tax-free strategy is designed to provide innovative solutions for personal and business planning, specifically tailored to the needs of high-net-worth professionals. 

We believe that Kai-Zen offers a better way to generating more retirement income from a smaller accumulated savings pool, a better way to transfer of wealth to family members, a better way to recruit and retain employees or a better way to fund buy-sell and succession agreements. 

My dedication to innovation and improvement remains steadfast. I’ve wholeheartedly embraced Kai-Zen as not just a better way, but in my humble opinion, the best way. I extend an invitation for you to connect with me, providing the opportunity to demonstrate firsthand the remarkable capabilities of Kai-Zen.

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.

What makes this strategy unique is you don’t have to qualify, be bound by a loan, pay interest or incur personal liability.

Kaizen As An Alternative To Fixed Assets

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.
