Benefits of the Infinite Wealth Concept (IBC) for Independent reps:
- Capture the future compound growth of more income/revenue. The way the Cash Value (CV) works inside a policy allows you to access the cash but never break the compound growth of those same dollars. The CV continues to grow even as you use it for business expenses/investments. Allows you to capture hundreds of thousands, or more, in savings over time, with the same out of pocket that you otherwise would experience.
- Each dollar does two jobs at once – Allows you to save for your retirement or a rainy day, capture the growth on those dollars, and serve the needs of your business and personal finances.
- Tax benefits – The CV grows tax deferred within the policy, can be accessed tax free during your working years, and can be withdrawn, if done correctly, in retirement tax free.
- Higher IRR than in a typical checking or savings account – Returns on CV over the medium/long term are typically around 4-5%, tax free, in a much safer vehicle than a typical bank account, and the CV cannot lose value.
- Helps manage cash flows – Allows you build up a sizable pool of capital for unexpected hard times—a mild winter, rainy summer, brands with shipping issues, lockdowns etc.—that you can quickly access.
- Create a private line of credit for your business – Allows you to build a line of credit that isn’t dependent on the whims of bank or financial institutions. Low interest rates (currently between 5-7%–depending on the company we use), unstructured loans that can be paid back whenever, or not at all. Line of credit cannot be decreased or taken away.
- Unreported loans – Loans are private and not reported to credit agencies.
- Creditor protection (depending on state) – some or all of the CV and Death Benefit (DB) are protected from lawsuits in most states.
- Create a tax free income stream in retirement – Turn your CV into a tax free private pension for yourself, if done correctly.
- End of life and long term care coverage – Policy lets you use your DB before you die if there is a critical health event or long term care event.
- Protect your loved ones if something happens to you – Death benefit is paid out tax free to your beneficiaries.
- Can be used as a volatility buffer – help ensure your market based assets are more efficient by using your CV to prevent the need to eat your principle in investment accounts during down periods in the market.
- Covered Call strategy – Policies on two spouses allow for this strategy in retirement, which can significantly increase income in retirement, by reducing risk of purchasing a singe-life Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA), which gives the highest payout rate, creating a private pension.
