  • Publication number: 20030105652
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for managing an investment to increase the after-tax death benefit of the investment received by the beneficiaries, the system comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory. The computer program receives and stores information relating to an investment and periodically assesses the value of the investment. The computer program then determines an insurance premium that will provide a death benefit based on the assessed value of the investment. Next, the computer program collects or otherwise receives information of receipt of the insurance premium. In the preferred embodiment, the insurance premium provides a life insurance death benefit of forty percent (40%) of the assessed value of the investment.
