Life and Death: Valuing Life Insurance

life-insuranceThis past summer, the firm of Pluris Valuation Advisors LLC released a detailed white paper on the valuation of life insurance. According to the authors, when valuing life insurance or life insurance-linked instruments such as split-dollar collateral assignment receivables or split-dollar promissory notes, there are only three elements of Fair Market Value. These include:

  • Illustrations from the insurance company projecting expenses, premiums and cash values
  • The mortality rates applicable to the insured life as of the valuation date
  • The discount rates applicable to the cash flows from the policy as of any given year.

The full report, Life Insurance: Mortality and Discount Rates can be viewed through the link below.
