Under the Hood: Dividends

  • Summary

  • Brian and Hans tackle: Dividends in Whole Life. What are dividends in mutual insurance companies, and how do they differ from stock dividends?


    The most efficient way to use dividends is by purchasing paid-up additions (PUAs). This strategy expands both the death benefit and cash value without additional out-of-pocket premiums, effectively supercharging the policy. Brian and Hans cover the limitations of policy illustrations and emphasize the real-world value of having capital readily available through IBC policies.


    • What Are Dividends? Dividends in IBC policies aren't like stock dividends; they're a share of the mutual insurance company's profits. Unlike volatile stock dividends, these are shares of a mutual insurance company's profits, paid consistently for over a century. But don't be fooled by the declared rate - there's a crucial difference between gross and net dividends. Understanding this nuance is key to maximizing your policy's potential.

    • Using Dividends to buy more PUAs: The most efficient way to use dividends is to purchase more Paid-Up Additions (PUAs). This supercharges your policy, expanding both your death benefit and cash value without additional out-of-pocket premiums. It's financial growth on autopilot, constantly strengthening your financial position year after year.

    • The Dividend Difference: IBC policy dividends aren’t like stock dividends. They represent a share of the mutual insurance company's profits and are a key tool for policy growth. By reinvesting dividends into Paid-Up Additions (PUAs), policyholders can create a self-reinforcing cycle of policy expansion. This increases both the death benefit and cash value without additional premiums. Once dividends are declared and used for PUAs, they become part of the policy's guaranteed values, effectively raising the policy's financial baseline.
