WEALTH PRESERVATION — PRIVATE PLACEMENT LIFE INSURANCE
Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)
Overview
For globally mobile families in the UAE, wealth often sits across jurisdictions, asset classes, and legal systems. Without the right structure, that complexity creates inefficiency, exposure, and friction in legacy planning.
Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) offers a strategic, tax-efficient wealth planning solution when designed correctly. It combines the protective wrapper of insurance with the flexibility of a sophisticated investment portfolio.
At Ma’an, we advise on bespoke PPLI structures using institutional-grade platforms, built specifically for ultra-high-net-worth investors.

Frequently Asked Questions – PPLI
Common considerations for establishing a private placement structure.
PPLI is generally designed for ultra-high-net-worth clients with significant investable assets. Minimum thresholds vary by platform and provider but are typically in the range of USD 1 million or above. We advise on the specific platform requirements as part of our consultation.
Yes. In many PPLI structures, existing investment portfolios can be transferred into the policy wrapper, subject to regulatory and platform requirements. This allows clients to retain their investment strategy while gaining the structural and tax-efficiency benefits of PPLI.
PPLI is available to a wide range of internationally connected investors, including UAE residents of various nationalities. Eligibility depends on the specific platform, issuing jurisdiction, and the client’s tax residency profile. We assess suitability on a case-by-case basis.
PPLI is a powerful complement to broader estate planning. It can be structured to sit within a trust or foundation, enabling the policy’s death benefit to transfer outside of probate — directly and efficiently to nominated beneficiaries. This makes it particularly effective for globally held estates.
