A short transcript excerpt from Richard Canfield (YouTube) explaining the hierarchy of control in life insurance/financial policies: policy owners are at the top and have primary rights to access their policy’s value as collateral proportional to their ownership stake; others (co-owners or institutions) may choose how to deploy the funds afterward. The clip emphasizes policy-owner autonomy over policy cash value and control proportional to equity position.

What Nelson's trying to establish is the hierarchy. Who's at the top of the food chain? Policy owners is number one. Because you're a co owner, you have the first right. You, as the individual and the ownership mechanism, have the first right to access whatever value your policy has from the big pool as collateral before it goes anywhere else. That's your percentage or level of control. It's a full autonomy in control at whatever your equity position is. Now, I got to put the money to work anyway. They're going to put it to work. They can choose to put it to work somewhere else or they can put it to work with you.
