With payment of the required guaranteed premiums, you will receive a guaranteed death benefit and guaranteed cash values inside the policy. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Dividends are not guaranteed and are declared annually by the issuing insurance company’s board of directors. Any loans or withdrawals reduce the policy’s death benefits and cash values and affect the policy’s dividend and guarantees. Whole life insurance should be considered for its long-term value. Early cash value accumulation and early payment of dividends depend upon policy type and/or policy design, and cash value accumulation is offset by insurance and company expenses.

#143- Investing in an Election Year-Archived Content 05/06/2024

#143- Investing in an Election Year-Archived Content In this episode, Bryan Kuderna discusses investing in an election year. He provides an overview of the current political landscape and its potential impact on the stock market. Kuderna also explores the historical performance of the stock market during election years and highlights the influence of the Federal Reserve. He concludes by offering insights and considerations for investors in the coming months. Investors have seen positive returns in 20 out of 24 election years. The average election year return when a Republican wins the White House has been 15.3%, compared to 9% when a Democrat wins. Presidents seeking reelection often take actions to pump up the stock market, such as fiscal stimulus and pro-growth regulation. The Federal Reserve has been active in election years, with rate hikes or cuts occurring in every election year since 1980. A crashing stock market is challenging for a sitting president to win reelection. Investors should keep an eye on the stock market and consider the potential impact of political and economic factors in the coming months. *Stock Market Data Source: Morningstar / Ibbotson Associates. ** This material is for general information only and is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

#138- The IRA Maximization Strategy In this episode of the Kuderna Podcast, host Bryan Kuderna discusses the concept of IRA maximization. He explains the three legs of the retirement system, which include social security, defined benefit pensions, and private savings. He emphasizes the importance of private savings, particularly through qualified retirement plans like IRAs. Kuderna delves into the tax concerns and future liabilities associated with IRAs, highlighting the need for careful planning. He explains the concept of required minimum distributions (RMDs) and the impact of the Secure Act on the stretch IRA strategy. Finally, Kuderna introduces the IRA maximization strategy, which involves leveraging life insurance to generate tax-free benefits. He discusses the benefits and considerations of this strategy for high net worth individuals. Takeaways IRA maximization is a strategy that involves leveraging life insurance to generate tax-free benefits for high net worth individuals. The three legs of the retirement system in the US are social security, defined benefit pensions, and private savings. Tax concerns and future liabilities associated with IRAs should be carefully considered and planned for. The Secure Act has impacted the stretch IRA strategy, often requiring non-spouse beneficiaries to take all RMDs within 10 years of the owner's death.
