About PPLI.com. Research for informed decisions.
PPLI.com publishes educational resources about private placement life insurance for families, family offices and professional advisers. The site covers policy costs, investment restrictions, tax conditions, ownership and jurisdiction choices. Its purpose is to help readers examine a proposal and prepare specific questions for their advisers. An article or calculator cannot establish personal suitability, secure insurance acceptance or determine a transaction's tax result. Read the sources, assumptions and scope before applying an explanation to your circumstances.
Start with the PPLI guide for the basic structure, the costs and economics guide for charges and comparisons, and the jurisdiction guides for country-specific questions. The research library brings related topics together. Professional readers can also explore the advisor resources.
PPLI brings insurance, investments and ownership arrangements into the same decision. Each part needs its own evidence. A tax result depends on the applicable rules and facts; an insurer's brand does not establish the terms of a particular contract. Use the research to identify the documents and professional analysis a proposal still needs.
Our purpose
Make the questions behind a PPLI decision easier to examine: what the contract provides, what it costs, who controls the investments, how money can be accessed and which country's rules apply. A useful comparison must include direct investment and other appropriate ownership or succession arrangements. It must also allow for the conclusion that a policy does not fit the need.
How to assess the research
Our editorial standards set requirements for sourcing, numerical assumptions, reviewer credits, commercial disclosures and corrections. They are the standard against which to assess an article, rather than a promise that a publication date or a general expertise claim establishes accuracy. Check the particular evidence supporting each conclusion.
Check the source
A legal claim needs a jurisdiction, relevant date and controlling source. For example, U.S. life-insurance qualification starts with section 7702; variable-contract diversification has its own rules in section 817. A citation must support the conclusion, including its conditions.
Read the assumptions
A hypothetical example is not a client result. Compare the same investments and time period, identify all charges and tax assumptions, and check what a calculator leaves out. A projected account value is not automatically the death benefit or an amount available after surrender tax.
Identify the contribution
Authorship, specialist review and advisory-board responsibilities are different roles. A professional name or board listing does not establish that the person reviewed a particular article. The visible credit should identify the actual contribution; an organisational byline does not claim an individual professional review.
Check the relationship
Before relying on a recommendation or accepting an introduction, establish the parties, scope, fees and relevant commercial relationships. An independence label is not a substitute for a specific disclosure. Product eligibility and regulatory permissions require their own checks.
For the site's published governance information, see the advisory-board page. Questions about editorial responsibility, an article credit or a commercial relationship can be sent through the contact page. Include the relevant page or interaction so the question can be addressed specifically.
Questions, corrections and privacy
To report an error, provide the page URL, the statement and the source or calculation that supports the correction. Email info@ppli.com or use the contact page. An initial enquiry does not need account numbers, identity documents, medical records or a complete policy file.
