PPLI policies are unregistered, variable life insurance and annuity policies that are only offered privately to accredited investors or qualified purchasers. The cash value of a policy is directly linked to the investment performance, and therefore not guaranteed. As long as the structure satisfies the requirements of the U.S. tax code, the owner will not be taxed on the investment income inside the policy.
