Declare Your Independence…

Independent Research…Independent Review… Declare yourself as an independent!

While it has been difficult for many clients to know who to trust, it is more important than ever to be able to quickly and easily demonstrate that you are independent and clearly doing what is best for the client.  Of course, there is no more compelling way to declare your independence than through the use of independent, empirical, 3^rd-party research. 

THEInsuranceAdvisor.COM is the industry’s largest database of pricing and performance data for life insurance products, and as such, adds independence and objectivity to any Policy Comparison, Policy Audit and/or Policy Evaluation systems/services.  Adding THEInsuranceAdvisor.COM to your practice will help…

·    Open more new doors and faster with those seeking independent advice,  

·    Eliminate competition in advance by having more information than about the pricing and performance of inforce and/or alternative policy holdings than your competition, and

·    Accelerate the sales process by quickly and easily demonstrating your independence and then moving straight to solving client problems. 

Few people, if any, know what they are actually paying for cost of insurance charges (COIs), fixed administrations expenses (FAEs), cash value based “wrap fees” (M&Es), and premium loads or what they are actually getting in the performance of invested assets underlying policy cash values. In addition, few of their financial advisors know what their clients are paying or what they are getting.  Given findings from independent studies¹ indicate there can be as much as a 40% swing between best-available rates and terms and poorly-priced products, the opportunity to bring reduced policy expenses and/or improved performance of invested assets underlying policy cash values can be both significant and meaningful today.

Declare yourself different from many financial advisors who are still selling some limited number of products!  THEInsuranceAdvisor.COM research is derived from various independent sources to include thousands of actual insurance company pricing representations for hundreds of different products and actual performance data for invested assets underlying policy cash value, and reveals the overall suitability of a given life insurance product relative its peer-group and based on 5 of the major factors of suitability as to 1) financial strength and claims-paying ability, 2) actual cost-competitiveness (i.e., measured separately from performance assumptions), 3) pricing stability, 4) cash value liquidity, and 5) actual historical performance of invested assets underlying policy cash values. 

Use the Confidential Policy Evaluator (CPE) Research Reports to determine the appropriateness of pricing, the reasonableness of performance expectations for invested assets underlying policy cash values, and overall suitability for your (clients') policies based on the 5 factors of suitability.  Click here and get up to 3 Confidential Policy Evaluator (CPE) research reports under our NO-RISK trial subscription.
