INSURED RETIREMENT PLAN

What is an Insured Retirement Plan?

An Insured Retirement Plan (IRP) is a financial solution designed to provide permanent life insurance coverage along with tax-efficient retirement income planning. This plan helps your business accumulate cash value inside a tax-exempt life insurance policy, creating a valuable financial asset. Unlike traditional taxable investments, the IRP leverages the policy’s cash value to generate a tax-free stream of income during retirement, benefiting business-owners and key executives. Additionally, it ensures essential permanent life insurance coverage, protecting your business against unforeseen circumstances while offering powerful tax-saving advantages and strategic estate planning opportunities.

How does it Work

How an Insured Retirement Plan Works

An Insured Retirement Plan starts with business-owners or key executives purchasing a permanent life insurance policy and consistently funding premiums to grow its cash value. Once these values have sufficiently accumulated, typically after the guaranteed payment period and around retirement age, the policyholder assigns the policy as collateral to obtain a tax-free lump sum or regular income from a lender. Eventually, the loan balance is repaid using the policy’s death benefit, ensuring efficient wealth transfer to beneficiaries

IRP vs. Traditional Retirement Plans (RRSPs/TFSAs)

Unlike RRSPs and TFSAs, an IRP allows unlimited tax-deferred contributions combined with permanent life insurance coverage, offering tax-free access to funds via collateral loans.

FROM TAX BURDEN TO TAX SHELTER

Real-life Case Study Example

A real-world look at how high-income individuals can rethink retirement planning with smarter, tax-efficient strategies designed for long-term growth and control.

Meet Jim

Jim is a high-income earning individual who over the years has built up significant non-registered investments. Having already maximized his registered investment accounts, Jim is concerned with the amount of tax he is paying on his investments and is looking for an alternative asset that can help him enhance his retirement lifestyle.

Jim

40 Years Old Male

Non-Smoker

Healthy, Active Lifestyle

Objectives

  1. Pay less tax on existing non-registered investments
  2. Enhance retirement lifestyle
  3. Leave a legacy for his children

The Potential Problem

The fixed income portion of Jim’s existing non-registered investments are being heavily taxed. Considering the tax and low interest rates, Jim is concerned he will quickly deplete his non-registered investments in retirement and not have anything left for his heirs.

The Potential Solution

After meeting with Jim, his advisor considers possible solutions to ensure tax on existing non-registered investments is reduced and sufficient income will be there for him during retirement, while leaving a significant legacy for his heirs. The advisor recommends the Insured Retirement Strategy from Empire Life for the following reasons:

The strategy

  1. Enables Jim to grow non-registered investments on a tax-deferred basis
  2. Creates sufficient life insurance coverage for legacy needs upon death
  3. Provides a tax-free stream of income for Jim during his retirement

The opportunity

Using non-registered fixed income assets to fund a participating life insurance policy provides a viable opportunity to:

  1. Provide tax-sheltering on surplus retained earnings
  2. Convert assets to tax-free corporate estate benefits
  3. Enable tax-efficient stream of income for retirement needs

No, you won’t pay taxes on the income you receive from your Insured Retirement Plan. This is because the income comes from collateral loans against your policy’s cash value, not from withdrawals, which makes it tax-free.

You don’t have to repay these loans while you're alive. Instead, when you pass away, the loan balance and any unpaid interest will be automatically covered by your policy’s death benefit. The remaining amount goes tax-free to your beneficiaries.

Yes, your IRP policy is designed to be flexible. You can easily change how much and how often you contribute, allowing your plan to adapt smoothly to changes in your financial situation.

Yes, an Insured Retirement Plan is specifically built to offer stability during unpredictable economic conditions. It provides steady growth of your funds and consistent retirement income, protecting your wealth from the ups and downs of inflation, recessions, or fluctuating markets.

It depends. Any outstanding loan balances and accumulated interest are deducted from your policy’s death benefit upon your death. However, the remaining benefit is paid out to your beneficiaries entirely tax-free, typically providing substantial inheritance despite the deduction
