This program gives your child a head start on saving for their college education, the down payment of their first home, and even their retirement, all while giving them the protection of life insurance.

The SmartStart plan is a way to help you set aside funds to protect your child's future while protecting their insurability, regardless of what happens later in life. The SmartStart life insurance policy provides insurance coverage for your child, coupled with a cash value savings component, which is certainly a smart start.

Why Do I Need

SmartStart?

It can be tough to save money for your child's future; SmartStart aims to make that a little bit easier.

SmartStart goes beyond education expenses: in addition to using funds to help pay for the cost of college, available cash value can be used at any point in your child's life. If they want to use funds for a down payment on a home, they can do so! When it's time for them to retire, if the policy is still in force, they can even create a retirement income stream from their SmartStart policy.

How Does

The SmartStart Plan Work?

By setting aside a small amount of money every month or quarter starting when your child is young, you can help them set aside cash for future needs while providing valuable insurance coverage.

A portion of your premium payment goes to pay the cost of life insurance coverage. The balance becomes part of the policy's cash value, which accumulates and grows tax-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the advantages of the SmartStart plan?

Clients love the SmartStart program for many reasons. First, this plan allows you to protect your child's future insurability, regardless of what medical issues might come up in the future. This means your child's family will have peace of mind knowing that death benefits are available, should the worst happen.

Also, SmartStart is much more than a simple life insurance plan. The cash value portion of the policy accumulates tax-free. Even better, the amount of money you can earn on those savings is generally more than you'll find in any bank or other guaranteed financial instrument. The policy's growth is indexed to the performance of several different indexes (of which you can select from), but there's no market risk of loss. This means your funds get the best of both worlds: upside potential without losing your principal.

Remember that the cash value can be used for any purpose your child chooses as an adult. Funds can help pay for college, fund the expenses of starting a business, buying a home or getting married, and even help pay for expenses in your child's retirement years.

Q: Can I afford SmartStart?

When you apply for life insurance for a healthy child, the premium payments are surprisingly affordable.

The additional amount of your regular payments is designed to help the cash value of the policy grow, tax-free, until your child withdraws it for a future need. SmartStart policies are designed to be flexible to meet your savings goals and your budget.

Q: Do I qualify for SmartStart?

The SmartStart plan is first and foremost a life insurance product, covering your child's life.

So, qualification decisions are based on your child's health at the time you apply for coverage for them. Generally speaking, most children qualify for the SmartStart plan through Symmetry Financial Group.

Q: When should I buy SmartStart?

The best time to begin the SmartStart program for your child is now. The cost of the insurance component will rise the older your child gets.

In addition, starting sooner means the funds set aside (the cash value component of the policy) will have more time to accumulate and grow. Having the power of time on your side with the SmartStart plan can yield astonishing results. Because the returns are indexed to the market, nobody can guarantee exactly how much money your child will have when it comes time to draw on the cash value for college expenses.
