Trust Pooled Life Insurance

Many Credit Union assets, including mortgages, auto loans, and credit card receivables, can be pooled

into a trust to diversify the risks and volatility associated with repayment. Similar to participation pools that

guarantee returns (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, Sally Mae), the CU can use the same strategy

with CASD loan receivable assets, CUOLI assets, and SPDA assets. In this example:


Investment Pooling Options

The CU can elect to purchase Pool interests with direct Cash investment. If the investment or insurance

deposited is not tied to a CASD plan (as “Benefits Pre-Funding” only) the credit union can realize the

entire increase in cash value generated by the pool’s capitalization of the death benefit.


For a 15-year held-to-maturity participation certificate:

  • Floating Rate: SOFR301 + 360 bps adjusted monthly on the final business day of the month

    • 8.92% APY as of April 1st

    • Additional “Securitized Spread” – the proceeds from death claims above the guaranteed values and after fund fees, returned to Participation Certificate Holders proportional to holdings.

  • Target Yield to Maturity: >6%

  • Minimum Yield to Maturity: 3.60% (if SOFR30 = 0%)

  • Fully collateralized by carrier guaranteed cash values


In addition to the purchase of Pool interests with direct Cash investment, the CU can elect to add any

other in-force life insurance to the LifeNotes Fund I pool. The CU can elect at anytime in the future to re-

allocate among certificate classes to optimize duration, return, and collateral class.
