We’ll explain why stacking policies by leveraging one to fund the next is inefficient, how to properly leverage your participating whole life insurance policy for investments that actually enhance your Canadian Wealth building journey, and why, when structured correctly, your participating whole life policy can provide long-term security while still allowing you to grow your portfolio.Discover why borrowing against a policy to buy another policy isn’t as effective as it sounds—and what to do instead.Learn how to use whole life insurance as a powerful financial tool to protect, optimize, and enhance your investment strategy.Find out why funding your policy first before investing elsewhere gives you “free” life insurance while keeping your capital working for you.Press play now to learn how to leverage your financial foundation the right way and avoid one of the biggest mistakes investors make with whole life insurance!Ready to take a deep dive and learn how to generate personal tax free cash flow from your corporation?
