COLI / TOLI : A Smarter Strategy for Financing Employee Benefits
COLI / TOLI : A Smarter Strategy for Financing Employee Benefits
Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI) or Trust Owned Life Insurance (TOLI) can reduce taxes on invested assets, increasing returns and shareholder value.
- Short term: COLI and TOLI programs typically target hedging P&L (Profit and Loss) volatility and track benefit plan balance sheet liabilities.
- Long term: COLI and TOLI can increase benefit security and recoup overall plan costs, delivering greater value for plan sponsors.

COLI /TOLI receives favorable accounting and P&L treatment, relative to taxable investments.
Income tax advantages make COLI/TOLI highly attractive to most companies, by delivering:
- Tax-deferred cash value growth.
- Tax-free fund reallocations within the policy.
- Tax-free receipt of death proceeds.
- Unique cash flow flexibility, created by the opportunity to access COLI/TOLI cash values via tax-free loans and withdrawals.
