Invest Capital

Freedom Engine

PLEX portfolio framework with ticker analysis, Income Amplifier terms, and Flow strategy — the complete Invest Capital knowledge base.

PLEX Three-Tier Architecture

Bedrock (65%) — Stability. Price stability > max drawdown > correlation > maintenance req. > yield.

Cash Flow (34%) — High yield. Accept NAV erosion and higher volatility for income.

Hedge (1%) — Protection. Moves opposite direction. Asymmetric bets.

George's Rule
"Just because the analyzer says it's not a bedrock, you might classify it as a bedrock." Personal judgment based on criteria overrides the tool.

Strategies

PLEX (Primary Strategy)

Margin-based portfolio with three tiers: Bedrock (65%), Cash Flow (34%), Hedge (1%). Stability-first approach with strict safety guardrails including DSCR and DTA limits.

Flow (Placeholder)

Fynanc's automated cash flow management system. Content will be populated as community sessions deliver Flow-specific training. Currently covering awareness, optimization, systemization, and mastery tiers.

Knowledge Progression

Coined by TPJG — As concepts evolve through teaching, terms gain new distinctions. What you learn in Grow Capital may shift in meaning as you enter Invest Capital. Each evolution is marked so you can trace how understanding deepens over time.

Income Amplifier Terms

Loan Constant

The annual debt service (principal + interest) expressed as a percentage of the original loan amount. Used to quickly compare borrowing costs across different loan structures. In the Income Amplifier, the 75% loan constant determines the cash flow rate for each cycle.

Source: George Antone -- Income Amplifier Project area, Ch. 6 (Smart Levers) [Video] @ Income Amplifier Course > Criteria Module

Cash Flow Rate

The net income generated per amplifier flip cycle after deducting borrowing costs. Must be positive for the amplifier to work.

Source: Fynanc Academy -- Income Amplifier Course > Criteria Module [Video] @ Income Amplifier Course > Criteria Module

Income Amplifier

A capital-cycling strategy that uses a credit facility (HELOC/LOC) as a funding line. Borrow at one rate, invest at a higher rate, earn the spread, repay, and repeat.

Source: George Antone -- The Income Amplifier Project area, Ch. 7 (Step-by-Step Project area) [Video] @ Income Amplifier Project area > Ch. 7

Spread

The difference between the yield earned on an investment and the cost of borrowing to fund it. Spread = Investment Yield - LOC Borrowing Rate.

Grow Capital Phase 🔄

Year 1-2 of the Fynanc wealth journey. The accumulation phase where the Income Amplifier builds capital. Focus all Thrust on growing capital size before moving to Invest phase. Scattered effort across phases delays wealth building by decades.

Grow Capital definition: Year 1-2 of the Fynanc wealth journey. The accumulation phase where the Income Amplifier builds capital for later PLEX deployment.

Family Banking

A strategy to redirect income streams that normally flow to commercial banks back to yourself using a private banking structure. Based on the concept that your income is a source of income streams to banks, and you can capture that value instead.

Velocity of Money

The concept of cycling capital through multiple uses quickly rather than letting it sit idle. Each dollar does multiple jobs in a short time frame, compounding returns without needing additional capital.

Capital Amplifier

The overarching wealth operating system encompassing IRIS, Income Amplifier, and FLOW. It is the machine that cycles capital through the R-C Loop (Return-Capital Loop) repeatedly to accelerate wealth building.

Order of Operations

The sequential framework for building wealth: Grow Capital (increase pile size) -> Invest Capital (move capital into passive-flow structures) -> Preserve Capital (protect from taxes and inflation). Mixing phases slows progress; focusing all thrust on one phase at a time creates unstoppable momentum.

Source: George Antone -- Fynanc Substack (May 8 2026) [Video] (See full session)

Thrust

The concentrated financial effort applied to a single phase of the Order of Operations. Wealth Creators focus all their Thrust on one objective at a time rather than scattering effort across multiple goals.

Source: George Antone -- Fynanc Substack (May 8 2026) [Video] (See full session)

Preserve Capital Phase

The third phase of the Fynanc wealth journey. Protecting the wealth system from taxes and inflation. Should only be focused on AFTER Grow and Invest phases are established.

Source: George Antone -- Fynanc Substack (May 8 2026) [Video] (See full session)

Invest Capital Phase

The second phase of the Fynanc wealth journey. Moving grown capital into structures that produce passive cash flow (PLEX, FLOW, etc.).
