Education

It’s not a secret that the insurance industry does a terrible job educating advisors on product and overall wealth planning for clients. You’d almost think it was intentional so agents would simply sell products  IMOs and insurance companies are pushing (because they are the most profitable not the ones that are best for clients).

We believe education is vital to make sure advisors know what they are doing and so clients receive the best advice.
