Q: Can you do an independent comparison of three different life insurance policies that we are considering for our company's CEO?
A: Yes but you should probably save the money by skipping this process. Comparative analysis of insurance policy projections have no meaningful value because: a) the projections compare different internal accounting procedures that are not directly comparable, and b) they are based on assumptions that will almost certainly not be true. Any deviation in actual economic conditions will affect the different policies in varying degrees, thereby throwing off the results of the analysis. Best purchase decisions are usually obtained by relying on your own common sense and instincts. Despite this comment, if you need the written analysis for due diligence or third party documentation purposes, I will be happy to prepare the report.
