When you work with a financial professional, you can expect:
During your initial phone call, your financial professional will ask you questions to understand your financial goals and objectives.
After looking at your entire financial picture, your financial professional will provide you with suggestions to fill in the gaps so you can choose the products best suited for your situation.
If you're satisfied with their recommendations, they work with you to secure the products and services to help ensure your financial future. This may require a medical exam.
Your financial professional can work with you over time through periodic reviews to help you monitor the strategies in place, and their capacity to continuously meet your goals.
1 Dividends are not guaranteed
2 Cash value may be accessed through borrowing or partial surrenders. This will reduce the policy's cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death.
