- Why the typical approach to retirement planning leaves so many in scarcity with the possibility of running out of money.
- How an integrated strategy using life insurance products with an investment portfolio provides more income during retirement.
- 3 ways whole life insurance is more than an income replacement that’s no longer needed after retirement.
- Why a financial strategy that includes whole life outperforms “buying term and investing the difference.”

- How to preserve your investment portfolio and minimize the sequence of return risk, giving you more income during later years.
