Life insurance and annuity solutions offered by experienced life insurance brokers and financial solution providers are the best tools for HNW clients to create greater risk-adjusted after-tax returns and reduce volatility and downside risks in their portfolio.

So why don’t more clients and advisors use it?

That’s because many clients have been burned in the past from using expensive products sold by high-commissioned agents.

And advisors often have a conflict of interest against using these products and just don’t understand how they work.

As your dedicated insurance consultant, we utilize our life insurance, investment, estate planning, and actuarial expertise to help advisors protect their clients’ portfolios against taxation, downside risk and provide higher after-tax, after-advisory fee returns than their current solutions.
