This is how to invest like the 1% – by borrowing against your assets.

The millionaires and billionaires of the world are borrowing money at an accelerated rate. An article from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Morgan Stanley’s wealth-management clients have about $68 billion worth of securities-based loans (more than double what it was 5 years ago).
Bank of America also reported their clients have 62.4 billion dollars in securities based loans. Which makes you wonder, why would do the rich need to borrow money if they already make and have a lot of money? This is how the rich control all the world’s wealth with this investing strategy – buy, borrow, die. At its core. Here’s how it works.
WHAT IS BUY, BORROW, DIE?
It’s a three step strategy that’s the core of how wealth is kept inside of small circles of the elite. They do this without ever selling their investments and the way it’s done is they borrow against an asset without selling the asset itself.
DO I HAVE TO BE RICH TO DO THIS?
No, it applies to everyone across all income levels which is that much more unfortunate that we aren’t taught how to do this in school.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1 – BUY:
In traditional finance speak, this phase is also sometimes called the “accumulation phase” of investing – this is where, when we’re younger, the goal is to go to school, get a degree, get a high paying career, save our money, and buy assets. This is where most of us will spend a majority of our lives – in the accumulation phase. Now let’s get a little more specific about the different assets we can and what they do.
THE BIG 3 – REAL ESTATE, STOCKS, CRYPTO
Each of these 3 assets represents a different benefit in relation to the buy, borrow, die strategy. Real estate is arguably the best in this strategy because it’s incredibly stable, it preserves value, we can use it as a write off, but most importantly – we can borrow against it. The rich buy real estate and never sell.
The rich also buy and invest in the stock market the exact same way – they invest and buy cash flowing stocks (or growth stocks) and allow them to grow to millions of dollars throughout their lifetime. Instead of selling those stocks, they will take out a loan against their portfolio.
Crypto works the exact same way. Buy stable bluechip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum – and let the growth take over leaving you with a multi million dollar portfolio to borrow against.
STEP 2: BORROW
The goal is to use “interest rate arbitrage” to our advantage by borrowing at a lower interest rate than the interest rate that our assets will grow by – allowing us to pocket the difference.
GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE!
Let’s say you have $100,000 invested and it’s making 10%, you could borrow another $100,000 at 2% – you could also invest that money so now you’re investing $200,000. Since it only costs you 2% (or $2,000 a year) – you can make a profit because you’re making $10,000 a year extra with the borrowed money. After interest, it means you’re getting $8,000 for free. Take that strategy and scale it to millions of dollars to see the potential.
HOW DO I DO THIS WITH STOCKS?:
There’s 2 ways to do it with your stock portfolio. Either an SBLOC (securities based loan of credit) or a margin loan.
HOW DO I DO THIS WITH REAL ESTATE?
HELOC. Home equity line of credit. If you have equity in your house, you can use it to take out a low interest rate loan.
HOW DO I DO THIS WITH CRYPTO?
Many crypto brokers offer some sort of “crypto borrow” product that allows you to use your Bitcoin, ETH, etc. to borrow against itself.
WHAT’S THE DOWNSIDE?
You can get margin called if there are margin minimums. If you portfolio falls 50%, you could be forced to sell all your investments to cover the loss of the loan and lose all your money (Archegos is the most recent example of a billionaire family that over leveraged).
STEP 3: DIE
The rich will put all their assets inside of a trust and their family will inherit their assets at a “stepped up cost basis” which allows them to sell those assets without incurring taxes. They don’t sell though – they continue buying, borrowing, and passing it on.

That thumbnail took me two hours to do, my bad for being late!
Don't you have to sell the asset when you have to pay off the loan that you borrowed? And won't you have to pay capital gains tax at that point?
I love how you breakdown financial jargon into meanings everyone can understand
But what about the interest? How are you paying it?
Blockfi, ouch…

Please update this video ex-BlockFi, so I can share it
I became a fan of Disruptive MCA. Before that, I was going heavy into Prosper. I also realized you can make money through Kiva by using a cash back/rewards card to lend money.
That's a broad title, some rich are investing to get richer, some only want to cover inflation and expenses. First, it's ideal to increase wealth to the point your heirs will get as much as you have plus inflation each. I'd like to give each kid $10 million at age 20 for investment, probably just give them access; I don't want them turning into degenerates. Agressive investing/business should yield 10x per decade once you're a millionaire, so a billion takes 20 years unless you get lucky. If you don't have $10 million, you may be 60 by the time you get a billion. My first 20 years were lost to failed business attempts (always way undercapitalized) and no capital to invest. Buying public stocks is hard to meet these numbers, angel/VC/hedge are all good, creating LP's and running them for investors for a share is good.
This guy makes me feel rich….

the 1% Millionaires stay rich by staying off debts ,spending less, earning more and investing passively but personally i made my first million from having an investment that spreads across projected stocks, etfs, coins and grade bonds although with a financial advisor managing my portfolio .forever grateful to Susan Kay Mack, it's been great.
Come for the finance, stay for the “I love you” at the end
I was searching for something like this and i found the answer from this video. thank you (:
That bitcoin price looked hella sexy
Massive quality of information and knowledge here. Well done Andrei !
You've stolen The Hairy Tornado's "swoop"!
I can't believe this isn't taught in school. It's like they want us to be bad with money….
So if I am able to build my portfolio to 500k would it be smart to use that asset backed loan to get a house at a low interest rate?

Thanks for watching and commenting👍 Do well to reach me for more Tips on how to make money online👍.
USA know how keep ourselves rich and others poor.
I feel all these mess(inflation, stock market at high valution )is intentionally created.
Andrei – love your videos 🤗
I get the concept, but when the loan is due, how do you pay? If you sell something then you’re realizing a profit, if you borrow again that portfolio better be doing exceptionally well year after year because its gonna snowball on ya.
