Setting Expectations in Premium Financing for High-Net-Worth Clients with Vincent Munno (Ep. 106)

Setting Expectations in Premium Financing for High-Net-Worth Clients with Vincent Munno (Ep. 106)

Big financial strategies rarely fail because of numbers alone; they fail when expectations are unclear.

What happens when interest rates rise, returns pause, or assumptions change after a plan is already in motion?

In this episode, Jeremy Houser interviews Vincent Munno, Partner at Simplicity Group, about premium financing strategies for ultra-high-net-worth clients. Vincent explains how setting conservative expectations, modeling zero-return scenarios, and focusing on client need helps advisors maintain trust through market shifts. The conversation covers interest rate risk, policy performance, ideal client profiles, and why estate and succession planning should lead every discussion.

Key takeaways:

  • Why premium financing conversations must begin with need, not projections
  • How showing worst-case scenarios upfront prevents future breakdowns
  • The role of annual reviews in managing rate and performance shifts
  • Which client profiles align best with long-term financing strategies
  • How advisors position premium financing within estate planning discussions
  • And more!
