The Rockefeller Method Approach

The ultra-wealthy don't just buy whole life insurance—they use it as the heart and financial lifeblood of their wealth preservation strategy. The Rockefeller Method ensures your financial legacy lasts, whether you leave $1 million or $100 million.

By establishing a trust funded with a properly structured, optimally funded whole life insurance policy, you create an alternative to traditional banks. This allows successive generations to:

  • Access capital for education and entrepreneurial ventures
  • Benefit from a board that holds your accumulated wisdom
  • Protect and replenish family wealth continuously
  • Maintain control while providing flexibility

This isn't about controlling from the grave—it's about giving your family the tools and parameters to build on your legacy.

Why Not Universal Life or Term Insurance?

  • Rising mortality and expense (M&E) charges
  • Risk of policy lapse and phantom income taxes

  • Complex illustrations that mask true costs
The Whole Life Advantage
