About This Course

This course examines the role of insurance as a strategic tool for managing financial risk within a broader planning framework. It outlines a five-step process for identifying, quantifying, and funding financial exposures for families, business owners, and estate planning situations. By focusing on the underlying financial assumptions—such as income replacement, debt servicing, and estate liquidity—the material demonstrates how to determine whether to retain or transfer risk. The content emphasizes the importance of clarity before strategy, ensuring that insurance solutions are tailored to the specific duration and nature of the client's financial requirements.

Topics Covered:

  • Risk management process framework
  • Human capital and income replacement
  • Shareholder buy-sell agreement funding
  • Corporate retained earnings allocation
  • Estate liquidity and tax obligations
  • Living benefits and disability coverage
  • Term versus permanent insurance utility
