A SPECIALIST INSURANCE PARTNER FOR THE WEALTH ADVISORY AND PRIVATE BANKING RELATIONSHIP.
WEALTH ADVISORS MANAGING COMPLETE CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS NEED INSURANCE EXPERTISEA wealth advisor providing comprehensive financial planning and investment management to a high-net-worth client is responsible for the full picture — and the insurance program is part of that picture. An insurance program that is inadequate or outdated creates risk that is inconsistent with the comprehensive wealth advisory relationship.
PRIVATE BANKERS ENCOUNTER INSURANCE IN LENDING RELATIONSHIPSA private banker providing credit facilities to high-net-worth clients encounters insurance in the collateral context — life insurance assigned as collateral for loans, property insurance requirements for real estate lending, and key person coverage in business lending. Having a specialist insurance partner who understands the collateral assignment and banking context provides real value on complex lending relationships.
INSURANCE IS A COMPONENT OF THE COMPLETE WEALTH CLIENT RISK PROFILEA high-net-worth client's total risk profile includes both investment risk and insurance risk. An underinsured home, an umbrella inadequate for the client's net worth, or an uninsured collection represents a financial risk that affects the client's overall wealth position — and that a wealth advisor providing comprehensive service should be aware of and address.
ESTATE PLANNING COORDINATION INCLUDES THE INSURANCE DIMENSIONEstate planning is a core component of wealth advisory service. Life insurance inside an ILIT, estate liquidity coverage, and beneficiary designation alignment with the estate plan are insurance components that wealth advisors regularly encounter in estate planning coordination. A specialist insurance partner who understands the estate planning context provides value that complements the wealth advisory and estate planning legal engagements.
INSURANCE SUPPORT FOR WEALTH ADVISORS AND PRIVATE BANKERS

HOW KELLY INSURANCE GROUP SUPPORTS WEALTH ADVISORS AND PRIVATE BANKERS IN PROVIDING COMPLETE CLIENT SERVICE.

01
PRIVATE BANKING AND COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT LIFE INSURANCE

Private banks providing premium finance loans and other credit facilities secured by life insurance need specialist life insurance coordination — confirming that the policy has been properly assigned as collateral, that the assignment does not affect the policy's coverage provisions, and that the policy is maintained appropriately throughout the loan term. Kelly Insurance Group provides collateral assignment life insurance placement and coordination specifically designed for the private banking context.

02
PROPERTY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR REAL ESTATE LENDING

A private bank making a loan secured by real property requires that the property be insured at appropriate replacement cost, that the bank be named as a loss payee, and that the insurance be maintained throughout the loan term. Coordinating property insurance requirements for high-value residential real estate — confirming replacement cost, confirming loss payee endorsement, and managing renewal confirmations — is a standard component of private banking relationship management.

03
COMPREHENSIVE CLIENT RISK ASSESSMENT FOR WEALTH ADVISORS

A wealth advisor who includes insurance in the annual client risk assessment provides a more complete risk management perspective. Is the client's umbrella adequate for their current net worth? Are agreed values on homes and collections current? Does the client have adequate personal cyber coverage for their public profile? Is life insurance coordinated with the estate plan? These questions belong in the comprehensive wealth advisory relationship — and Kelly Insurance Group provides the insurance expertise to answer them.

04
ESTATE PLANNING INSURANCE COORDINATION FOR WEALTH ADVISORS

Wealth advisors coordinating client estate planning need insurance expertise at the estate planning intersection — ILIT life insurance placed in coordination with the trust formation, estate liquidity coverage sized to projected estate tax needs, and beneficiary designations confirmed to align with the estate plan's distribution framework. Kelly Insurance Group provides life insurance coordination that fits into the wealth advisor's estate planning coordination role.

05
THE WEALTH ADVISOR AND PRIVATE BANKER REFERRAL MODEL

Kelly Insurance Group fits into the wealth advisory relationship as a specialist insurance partner — providing insurance expertise that complements the investment, financial planning, and estate planning expertise the wealth advisor brings to the relationship. The referral is simple: when an insurance question arises, we are introduced to the client, we handle the insurance conversation, and we communicate back to the wealth advisor on the resolution.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

FOUR INSURANCE SITUATIONS WEALTH ADVISORS AND PRIVATE BANKERS ENCOUNTER.

!
CREDIT FACILITY REQUIRES LIFE INSURANCE AS COLLATERAL — PLACEMENT NOT COORDINATED

A private banking credit facility that requires life insurance as collateral needs specialist coordination to ensure the policy is properly structured, placed, and assigned. The assignment must be perfected in the correct order — trust formation before policy placement for ILIT-involved lending — and the policy must meet the bank's specific requirements.

!
CLIENT'S NET WORTH INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY — UMBRELLA NOT REVIEWED

A wealth advisory client whose portfolio has grown significantly — or who has received a major liquidity event — may have an umbrella that was appropriately sized when the relationship began but is now inadequate for their current net worth. The annual wealth review is the natural trigger for this umbrella adequacy check.

!
ESTATE PLAN UPDATED — ILIT LIFE INSURANCE NOT REVIEWED ALONGSIDE IT

An estate plan that is updated — new trust structures, changed distribution provisions, revised tax planning — should trigger a review of existing ILIT life insurance to confirm that the policies still serve their intended purpose within the updated estate plan. Wealth advisors coordinating estate planning are in the best position to identify when this review is needed.

!
SIGNIFICANT REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL — PROPERTY INSURANCE NOT CONFIRMED

A private banking relationship secured by significant real estate requires confirmation that the property is insured at appropriate replacement cost with the bank named as loss payee. This confirmation should be obtained at loan origination and confirmed at each renewal — but it often falls between the cracks when the insurance and banking relationships are managed independently.

COMMON QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS ADVISORS OFTEN ASK.

What is a collateral assignment of life insurance?

A collateral assignment of life insurance assigns the death benefit and in some cases the cash value of a life insurance policy to a lender as collateral for a loan. The assignment is typically recorded with the insurance carrier, and the carrier agrees to notify the lender of any policy changes that could affect the collateral. Kelly Insurance Group places life insurance with collateral assignment for private banking credit facilities and coordinates the assignment process with the bank's requirements.

What property insurance requirements do private banks typically impose for real estate lending?

Private banks typically require that collateral real property be insured at replacement cost — not actual cash value — with the bank named as mortgagee or loss payee. The bank should receive copies of the policy and renewal certificates, and the policy should include a provision requiring advance notice to the bank of cancellation or material change. High-value residential property requires specialty homeowners or high-value property coverage rather than standard homeowners.

How does insurance fit into a comprehensive wealth advisory relationship?

Insurance is the risk management layer of the comprehensive wealth management relationship — protecting the assets and income that the wealth advisory engagement is building and managing. An adequate umbrella, properly insured properties, covered collections, and coordinated life insurance are all components of a complete wealth management picture. Including insurance in the annual client risk assessment is a standard element of comprehensive wealth advisory service.

What life insurance does Kelly Insurance Group provide for estate planning?

We provide ILIT life insurance placement and coordination — working with the estate planning attorney and wealth advisor to structure coverage that serves the client's estate planning objectives. We also provide estate liquidity life insurance, beneficiary designation review, and annual policy review when estate plans are updated. All life insurance placements are coordinated with the legal and financial advisors to confirm alignment with the overall estate plan.

How does Kelly Insurance Group communicate with the wealth advisory team?

We establish communication protocols at the start of the relationship — defining who the primary contact is, how routine inquiries are handled, and how complex situations are escalated. We communicate with the wealth advisory team at whatever level is most useful for the specific engagement and provide clear documentation of all insurance actions taken on behalf of the client.

Can Kelly Insurance Group participate in client review meetings as an insurance resource?

Yes. We are comfortable participating in annual client review meetings as a specialist insurance resource — providing the insurance perspective within the comprehensive wealth advisory review. The appropriate level of involvement depends on the advisor's engagement model and the client's specific insurance situation.
