The decision to meet with Gabe, Sarah and the Peak Pro Financial team changed the trajectory of my business.

I’m so fortunate to have them as part of my business and look forward to many more years to come.

Mark M, CRPC®Colorado

I chose Peak Pro Financial because I was looking for a higher level of relationship and service, as well as the feeling of partnership.

Robert W, RCPCalifornia

I wanted to add IUL to my practice but needed a deeper level of support. The hands-on training and tools they provide help me educate my clients so they understand various concepts. With Peak Pro Financial, I'm putting my clients in strategies that I can be confident in.

Jason CIllinois

Peak Pro Financial is much more than a product provider. They serve as a resource in so many ways, helping me re-engineer myself from a product salesman to a full-service advisor. The team is committed to helping me achieve maximum success, and they've been a big part of it.

Brian GNew Jersey

I have recommended several advisors to the firm. And yes, I will keep recommending. Sarah, my Sales Development Advisor, and the team are a big part of my planning. Even in 2020 during the lockdown, my business has been up 20%. That would have been tough to do without Peak Pro Financial.

Do you stand out as an ace-high or a crowbait advisor?

Given that this is an educational piece and this week’s focus is on retirement, let's discuss designations. I see more and more agents earning designations and I think it's fantastic. This is a phenomenal way to separate yourself from your competitors and allows your clients to know you are dedicated to your craft. With this in mind, there are two designations that should be at the top of the list: NSSA® and RICP®.

Taxes: the focal point of a comprehensive retirement income plan

We believe the tax discussion is imperative to retirement income planning. Taxes, within the context of a low-interest rate environment and an inability to find sound solutions for fixed income, become a focal point of a comprehensive financial plan. More and more, clients and their advisors are looking to fixed indexed annuities as that solution. Annuities offer tax deferrals for maximizing growth, create lifetime income streams and bypass probate - these are just a few of the benefits.

The Income Discussion: Don't be a one-trick pony

When addressing the need for income, the discussion tends to lean towards lifetime versus non-lifetime income (income rider / no income rider). Additionally, an overview of bucket modeling as a potential solution invariably enters the discussion.

Adding the four-letter word to "tax"

In March 2011, David Walker declared on national radio that income tax rates in our country would have to double. Otherwise, we’d go bankrupt. Bummer, huh? So, who is David Walker and why should we care? And is there any merit to his claim?

Why today's tax fire sale probably won't last for long

It’s everyone’s favorite topic! Most likely to complain about, that is. Some people look at taxes as a necessary evil. Others view it as a civic duty. No matter where you stand, it’s safe to say that it’s one of the highest “fees” you’ll pay throughout your lifetime.

A ticking tax time bomb? What your clients need to know about the SECURE Act and inherited IRAs

The battle to break even

2020 has been a crazy ride. From COVID-19 and extreme market volatility to social unrest and the presidential election, there’s a lot going on. How can advisors and their clients cut through the clutter and decipher fact from fiction? And how can they stay ahead of a market that doesn't mirror what's going on in the economy?

Market volatility: How low will we go?

It's the one thing on almost everyone's mind. With COVID-19 cases on the rise and the stock market in a tailspin, advisors and clients alike are wondering when everything's going to get back to "normal."

The LTC advantage

There are a lot of misconceptions around long-term care (LTC) these days.

IUL know-how: The index crediting game

IUL know-how: What is arbitrage, exactly?

As financial professionals, we know that one of the biggest problems in retirement is the fact that every time you spend a dollar, you lose a dollar. If you have $10 in your retirement savings account, and you withdraw $5, you now only earn interest on the remaining $5 account balance—and nothing on the $5 withdrawal.

Annuities: What really happens when interest rates bounce back?

Over the past couple months, the news cycle has been blasting headlines about interest rate cuts. Well, the Fed reduced rates in late July—the first time in over a decade.
