    Is saving your age with a backdated participating whole life insurance policy really the smartest financial move—or could it cost you more than it saves?

    If you’ve ever considered using participating whole life insurance for wealth preservation, you’ve likely heard about backdating to lock in a younger age. But what if that age-saving strategy means compromising your cash value in the short term—or worse, limiting your ability to fund the policy fully? Whether you’re starting a corporate-owned participating whole life insurance policy or planning for long-term estate growth, the funding strategy you choose can make or break your outcome.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • How backdating a policy by 6 to 12 months affects both cash value and death benefit over time.
    • Why saving age isn’t always worth it—especially if you can’t max fund in year one.
    • When a backdated policy makes sense, particularly for those with a large upfront lump sum to contribute.

    Press play to learn how to structure your life insurance strategy for maximum flexibility, long-term value, and alignment with your wealth goals.

    Discover which phase of wealth creation you are in. Take our quick assessment and you’ll receive a custom wealth-building pathway that matches your phase and learn our CRA compliant tax optimized strategies. Take that assessment here.
