Explanation

Policy loans and withdrawals can provide liquidity but may alter long-term contract performance and tax profile. Improper use can increase risk and reduce planned legacy outcomes.

Example

An owner draws repeated amounts from policy value during market stress, then faces reduced coverage durability if interest and costs are not monitored.

Common mistakes

Owners often view policy value as consequence-free liquidity. Ignoring policy illustrations and tax thresholds can produce unexpected liabilities.

Summary

Access policy value with a structured plan, not as ad hoc cash flow support.
