Carlos and Bob discuss inflation and whether it spells the doom of life insurance, and thereby ruins the case for IBC. They conclude that rising interest rates per se don’t adversely impact life carriers, because of asset-liability matching. Moreover, when you practice IBC, you’re not “investing in life insurance.”
