Michael explains how PPLI has been used by affluent families since the 1970s as a sophisticated vehicle for tax planning, asset protection, estate planning, and long-term wealth preservation.Together, Vikram and Michael break down what PPLI actually is, how it differs from traditional life insurance, who qualifies, what types of assets can be held inside a policy, and why some investors refer to it as an "unofficial Roth IRA" for wealthy families.If you're a high-income physician, entrepreneur, or investor looking for advanced strategies to preserve and transfer wealth, this episode offers a fascinating introduction to a financial vehicle that has historically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Would you rather keep a dollar or keep seventy cents?
