The PPLI Library

Find English-language articles on private placement life insurance, including US tax conditions, policy costs, ownership, investment limits and cross-border questions. Start with the four guides below, browse a planning topic, or filter the article index by title and section. The library is here to help you find and understand the research; whether a policy suits you is a separate question for you and your advisers. Each article shows its date, sources and assumptions, and rules do change, so confirm the current position before acting on any planning idea.

U.S. planning questions

From research to questions for review

Review PPLI issuing entities, examine domestic policy structures, and inspect the assumptions behind PPLI cost comparisons. For US qualification, consult 26 USC 7702 and the applicable diversification rules. Read the Senate PPLI proposal analysis as a separate legislative topic. A bill is only a proposal until it passes, so check its status and the law actually in force before planning around it.
