IBC Fundamentals: IBC policies are structured with two main components: base premiums and paid-up additions (PUAs). The base premium is described as the foundation of the policy, providing the core death benefit. PUAs, on the other hand, are likened to "miniature policies" allowing for rapid cash value growth. The combination of base premiums and PUAs is what sets IBC policies apart from traditional whole-life insurance. 

Policy Loans and Their Advantages: American family spends about 34.5% of their lifetime income on interest payments to outside entities. By using policy loans instead, policyholders can keep that money within their own "ecosystem." These loans can be used for significant expenses like buying cars, paying for children's weddings, purchasing a second home, financing a mortgage, taking vacations, or even charitable giving. The main advantage is that money in the policy continues to grow and compound even while being used for these purchases, avoiding the opportunity cost of paying cash. 

IBC is Efficiency and Control: In the ‘protect, then save, then grow’ mindset of financial strategy, a whole life policy is the optimal tool for the protection and savings components. From that position of safety, you can more efficiently expand your growth assets by leveraging the power of certainty, liquidity, and control in your policy. The banker (policy owner) makes the rules, and the contractual rights inherent to the whole life policy yield greater flexibility in the banker’s quest for optimization.
