Succession plans do more than just establish a clear process for the transfer of assets – they provide much-needed peace of mind during strenuous times. High-value life insurance can and should be a key component of these plans. It serves as a powerful tool to manage business risks and offers protection for various needs, such as business loan protection, key personnel planning, partnership protection, and buy-sell agreements. Proper insurance structuring can also safeguard against the immediate repayment of business loans in the event that a guarantor passes away.

With an estimated US$5.8 trillion in wealth projected for generational transfer by 2030*, the demand for flexible life insurance policies is stronger than ever. Our Chief Commercial Officer, Jeremy Young, recently contributed to The Business Times feature about how high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are increasingly prioritizing flexible premium options that not only preserve capital but also offer growth potential. In a succession and estate planning survey we recently conducted with wealth advisers, over half of the respondents noted a rise in their HNW clients’ awareness and interest in succession and estate planning following the pandemic. There is also increased concern, especially in Singapore, that not planning will lead to family disputes. As the market continues to evolve with geographical/demographic changes, increased needs for succession planning, and wider product choices, developing tailored strategies that incorporate multi-purpose and flexible insurance options—such as Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies—will be essential for meeting the diverse and changing needs of HNWIs.

A well-crafted estate plan can leave a legacy that lasts rather than one fraught with family feuds. Navigating unique family dynamics can be complex, especially when considering how to support children after a parent's passing and minimize sibling burdens. One effective strategy to achieve this is through special needs trusts, which safeguard assets and ensure a secure future for vulnerable family members.

Creating a legacy of wealth and purpose — rather than one of debris and neglect — starts with meaningful action. Last Saturday, over 30 enthusiastic volunteers from our Hong Kong team, along with their families and friends, gathered for a cleanup at Wu Kai Sha Beach (“Wu Kai Sha” means black sand creek in Cantonese). After an informative session by The Jane Goodall Institute Hong Kong on the impact of plastic pollution on marine life and practical strategies for protecting coastal ecosystems, we began cleaning the beach and wrapped up the day with a relaxing barbecue at Whitehead BBQ Park. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated; your dedication is vital to our commitment to building a sustainable future for generations to come. Here’s to small steps, big smiles, positive influence, and a cleaner beach for our kids to enjoy. #TransamericaLifeBermuda #sustainability #wastemanagement #teamwork

Like any map, having a succession plan is essential for journeying across generations with confidence. Our Chief Commercial Officer, Jeremy Young, recently spoke at the Wealth Solutions Forum 2024 hosted by Hubbis in Dubai, where he shed light on insights from our 2024 Succession and Estate Planning Survey. The findings reveal a notable gap: many clients recognize the importance of estate planning and have real concerns if it is not established; however, knowing where to start and giving it the right priority remains a challenge. This presents a significant opportunity for wealth managers to offer proactive and holistic solutions. Jeremy emphasized that life insurance can be an invaluable tool in navigating complex estate scenarios. As the wealth management landscape evolves, high-net-worth clients increasingly seek tailored strategies that incorporate insurance into their broader financial plans. By engaging the next generation, simplifying wealth transfer solutions, and enhancing family communication, wealth managers can transform client aspirations into actionable results.
