Synopsis

When The Life Insurance Investment Advisor was first published in 1988 it received rave reviews from financial experts such as Terry Savage and Douglas Fabian. Attorneys, CPAs, CFPs and trust officers found it a useful tool in advising their clients on insurance matters.
The New Life Insurance Investment Advisor continues to provide consumers, investors, financial planners, insurance professionals and accountants with a solid understanding of today's life insurance products - how to analyze them based on their investment merits and how to select them for the best overall financial returns possible.
The first edition predicted the inevitable popularity of variable universal life. This new edition concentrates on it as the life insurance product of choice - a financial product "for all seasons." It is the only product that can be managed by policy owners to suit their own financial needs and minimize their financial risk ... if they only knew how! With this book, author Ben Baldwin teaches you how.
