Episode 65: The Only Way To Leverage "Premium Finance" Life Insurance Moving Forward!

Description: Bill & Michael Wurth (Succession Capital's Regional Vice President) discuss "Carrier Endorsed" Premium Finance opportunities in today's evolving landscape. Whether it's marketing to business owners, high net worth individuals, charitable solutions, policy reviews, creative estate planning or tax savings strategies, many opportunities may exist. Modern premium financing for life insurance began in 1996 when CEO Julian Movsesian was challenged by a High-Net-Worth Client to come up with a method for using leverage to enhance the purchase of life insurance. This challenge led to the creation of the "Capital Maximization Strategy℠ (CMS), which provided Clients with a better way to buy life insurance. Each client requires a unique plan reflecting their capital, income, business, tax, estate, and charitable objectives. In collaboration with Advisory Teams, SCA tailors custom plans to achieve each client's goals. Levinson & Associates has teamed up with SCA to help our agents help their clientele with these creative financial solutions, as discussed in episode 65. Michael's Bio: Michael Wurth joined Succession Capital in January 2021. Hired before the official Vice President program was put in place, Michael spent his first 2 years at SCA supporting Michael Rothman and managing all cases in underwriting. His territory includes San Diego, Inland Empire, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Alaska, and Hawaii. Prior to joining SCA, Michael worked for Apple in their Beijing office, where he was the only non-native Chinese speaker on Apple's team of 250 employees. He was specifically responsible for analyzing the financials and setting targets for iPhone sales in the Greater China region, a $50 Billion dollar revenue generating group. After his time in China, he completed his MBA in Barcelona, Spain in 2019 before launching his own Search Fund after graduation. Aside from work, Michael is passionate about education and his faith. He and his wife started a Catholic Classical Education school in Southern California called The Camino School. Michael received his undergraduate degrees in International Business and Chinese Language and Culture from the University of Southern California and his MBA and Spanish degree from IESE in Barcelona.
