Why Do I Need
Smart Start?
It can be tough to save money for your child's future; Smart Start aims to make that a little bit easier. Smart Start goes beyond education expenses: in addition to using funds to help pay for the cost of college, available cash value can be used at any point in your child's life. If they want to use funds for a down payment on a home, they can do so! When it's time for them to retire, if the policy is still in force, they can even create a retirement income stream from their Smart Start policy. You don't have to figure it out by yourself, we have licensed advisors for you to connect with.
How Does
The SmartStart Plan Work?
By setting aside a small amount of money every month or quarter starting when your child is young, you can help them set aside cash for future needs while providing valuable insurance coverage. A portion of your premium payment goes to pay the cost of life insurance coverage. The balance becomes part of the policy's cash value, which accumulates and grows tax-free. Don't worry, we'll simplify it for you!

What are the advantages of the Smart Start plan?
Clients love the Smart Start program for many reasons. First, this plan allows you to protect your child's future insurability, regardless of what medical issues might come up in the future. This means your child's family will have peace of mind knowing that death benefits are available, should the worst happen. Also, Smart Start is much more than a simple life insurance plan. The cash value portion of the policy accumulates tax-free. Even better, the amount of money you can earn on those savings is generally more than you'll find in any bank or other guaranteed financial instrument. The policy's growth is indexed to the performance of several different indexes (of which you can select from), but there's no market risk of loss. This means your funds get the best of both worlds: upside potential without losing your principal. Remember that the cash value can be used for any purpose your child chooses as an adult. Funds can help pay for college, fund the expenses of starting a business, buying a home or getting married, and even help pay for expenses in your child's retirement years.

When should I buy Smart Start?
The best time to begin the Smart Start program for your child is now. The cost of the insurance component will rise the older your child gets.
In addition, starting sooner means the funds set aside (the cash value component of the policy) will have more time to accumulate and grow. Having the power of time on your side with the Smart Start plan can yield astonishing results. Because the returns are indexed to the market, nobody can guarantee exactly how much money your child will have when it comes time to draw on the cash value for college expenses.
The Smart Start life insurance policy comes with the potential for dramatic growth to give your child the head start they deserve.
