What are REPs + How it works
What are Traded / Resale Endowment Policies? (REPs®)(TEP)
EVER HEARD OF THIS SAYING 'TIME IS MONEY'?
There is an old saying ‘Time is Money’.
In the past, one can simply trade his time for money. You can always put in more hours into your job or business to earn more income.
The original phrase is often assigned to the great aphorist Benjamin Franklin, who wrote in his 1748 essay “Advice to a Young Tradesman,” “Remember that time is money,” before going on to remind his youthful reader of the opportunity cost of laziness. When you’re not working, he says,you’re really just throwing potential earnings away.
How does that translate to the modern era in the 21st century? Most people will have a full-time career that requires almost all of their energy and effort, which renders putting in extra hours into your work impossible.
Having your money work for you is essential, If this philosophy suits you, then enquire more today and find out how Traded/Resale Endowment Policies can be the solution for you.
Benefits of REPs
1. Potential for Attractive Returns
Access established endowment policies that may offer attractive returns over their remaining policy term.
2. Stability & Security
Backed by established insurance companies, providing a structured and regulated financial product for investors seeking greater stability.
3. Shorter Remaining Maturity Period
Unlike newly purchased policies that may require a long commitment, resale policies can have a shorter remaining maturity period, allowing investors to reach maturity sooner.
4. No Medical Underwriting
Purchasing a resale policy generally does not require the new policyholder to undergo medical underwriting, subject to the relevant policy terms and requirements.
5. Access to Established Policies
Investors can access existing endowment policies that have already been in force, rather than starting a brand-new policy from the beginning.
6. Defined Maturity Date
The policy has an existing maturity date, allowing investors to plan around a known timeframe, subject to the policy terms.
7. Diversification Opportunity
Resale endowment policies can potentially form part of a diversified financial portfolio alongside other asset classes.
8. Suitable for Different Financial Goals
Depending on the policy and investor's objectives, resale endowment policies may be considered for goals such as wealth accumulation, retirement planning, children's education or longer-term financial planning.
How Does the Transfer Work?
An absolute assignment generally transfers the policy rights to the new owner, subject to the insurer’s procedures and the policy’s eligibility requirements.
