Introduction Conversation John, I know how you feel about taxes, and of course the recent tax changes just made your load a little heavier. With that in mind I want to briefly share an investment strategy with you that generates tax free income. With this plan your current investment gains are tax deferred, and when it is time for income, you receive that totally tax free. It is similar to the popular ROTH IRA, but because of your income you do not qualify for a ROTH. This solution is ideally suited to high income clients like you, and particularly those now paying a 3% surtax on investment income. I think it is something you will find of value and I would like to review this with you in person. What is the best day this week or next to visit for an hour?

Client Objection I have always heard that mixing investing and life insurance doesn’t work. Why not just do term and invest the difference? Response: I understand and I know there are some who are not advocates of this strategy. Two points- first, I am not recommending this as part of your life insurance protection, I don’t believe you need any more life insurance. And second, I am more concerned about the results and not so much how a solution is packaged. And what I mean by that is, for any solution I recommend for you, I focus primarily on what it does, not so much on what it is. What this “does” is provide confidence that you will have tax free income in retirement. How do you feel about tax free income?
