• After policy expiration, the Insured executes a “commutation and release” agreement. Remaining premium is calculated based on the overall performance of the policy.
  • Funds stay in the trust to be used for policy renewal.
  • Insured receives “Premium Vacation.”
  • Tax neutral scenario:
    • premiums “returned” are taxable;
    • premiums “paid” are tax deductible.

Example:

$5,000,000 Year 1 DRP Premiums

$2,000,000 Year 1 Claim Payments

$3,000,000 Remaining in Trust when policy is commuted and released


$5,000,000 Year 2 DRP Premiums

$3,000,000 Premium Rollover from Year 1 (tax neutral)

$2,000,000 Premiums remitted for Year 2 (tax deductible)
