With an aging population of annuity holders, the opportunity exists for you to provide a solution to those who are facing the prospect of a maturing annuity contract.

The Value of Two
This week, I am sharing a quick idea or two based upon a conversations that I had this past week with producers and advisors. Just a reminder, that I am back in business and on the road meeting in-person (one-on-one, small groups, or agency-level meetings). This leads me into my shameless pitch for our upcoming… Continue reading

Do You Know Ruth & Erica
In last week’s Fridays with Fisher, I shared a specific Monte Carlo scenario that I ran demonstrating the potential financial impact that might occur to someone with a million dollar portfolio. As you would expect, a long duration care event has a much more significant financial impact than a short duration event. What we rarely… Continue reading

Did you know – Monte
In last week’s Fridays with Fisher, I shared with you my high-level viewpoint on both the physical and fiscal risk that extended healthcare events pose. One point that I tried to make is that there is a parallel between long term care insurance and disability income insurance. Simply, they both provide as a means to… Continue reading

Did you Know – Jean-Baptiste
Last week’s Fridays with Fisher talked about some serious misunderstandings that a bulk of the population has about long term care / extended healthcare and the funding of those obligations. It is a serious issue that MUST be addressed. Medicare and Medicaid are not designed to address this issue – we need to make sure… Continue reading

Did You Know – Percy
You all know that every Friday I share a little something with you in my Fridays with Fisher e-blast and blog (fridayswithfisher.com).

Did You Know – Benjamin
We have heard it a million times – “by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” or some variation of this statement. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin is often credited for this thought, but that cannot be verified (according to checkyourfact.com). Regardless of the source, the statement rings true. A failure to plan… Continue reading

Some Tools For You
As you know, I am on vacation this week. Actually, it will be no vacation as I am moving from our 200 year old historic home in Somers, CT to a newer home a few miles away. (Shameless pitch – if you know of anyone looking for a historic home that wants to live in… Continue reading

Columbo
If you have been in the business for any time, you will recognize the phrase “the Columbo Close” where as you wrap up your conversation with a “quick question” which opens the door to opportunity. You know – it goes something like this … While I am not going to ask you for a dime… Continue reading
