How to Use Life Insurance as an Investment

I'm interested in understanding more about how I, as someone who holds a life insurance policy, can leverage it for investment purposes. Could you provide a detailed explanation on the methods and strategies involved, along with any potential risks and benefits associated with using a life insurance policy in this manner?

In essence, life insurance allows you to take tax-free policy loans from the cash value at a certain period. The amount will vary depending on the cash value, age and interest rates.
