Instructions For Preparing Proposals
Here are the general instructions to guide the team preparing insurance proposals. The goal is to provide better performance for the clients while using conservative assumptions.
Inputs
- client names: John Client and Jane Client (unless actual names provided)
- health: standard (not preferred)
- tobacco: nonsmoker
- annual deposits
- investments
- realization rate for capital gains of 25%

Company-specific
Industrial Alliance
- In the illustration output, suppress the Investor Profile page
- Investment Bonus
- use no bonus (Low Fees option)
- Alternative Investment
- use a realization rate on capital gains of 25% (the default of 100% makes the tax sheltered growth inside insurance look better than in real life)
- Shuttle Account
- lowest possible interest rate (ideally 0%)
- results after tax
Wealth Maximizer
- use Superior Minimization (not the Face+Fund with Wealth Maximizer option, which inflates the death benefit and insurance charges)
- When running a Wealth Maximizer, set the minimum death benefit to the premiums (e.g., for deposits of $200,000/yr for 3 years, set the floor to $600,000)
Level Cost of Insurance
- use the option with surrender charges (and lower cost of insurance)
