This Week's Highlights & Events

Maximize your clients' coverage with a 1035 Exchange

If your client has an existing life insurance policy that no longer meets their needs, a 1035 exchange could be a valuable solution.

Planning for future care needs becomes a top priority as your clients age. One effective way to address this concern is by considering products with chronic illness or long-term care coverage, which can also provide a death benefit.

Securian Financial is one of the few carriers that accepts a 1035 exchange and can split the funds in-house, allowing clients to repurpose their old policy into two new ones tailored to their specific goals.
