Licensed Insurance Professional. We are an independent financial services firm helping individuals create retirement strategies using a variety of annuities and insurance products to custom suit their needs and objectives. This material has been prepared for informational purposes only. It is not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon for, accounting, legal, tax or investment advice.

Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. No Investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a period of declining values. Any references to protection benefits or lifetime income generally refer to fixed insurance products, never securities or investment products. Insurance and annuity products are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

Insurance services have a best interest standard which requires recommendations to be in your best interest. Agents may receive commission for the sale of insurance and annuity products. Additional details including potential conflicts of interest are available in our firm's Insurance Agent Disclosure for Annuities form.
