M Advantages

 

Goldstein Financial Group is a proud Member Firm of M Financial Group. M Financial Principals provide exclusive advantages to their clients and advisors. These advantages become particularly important as persistent low-interest rates have substantially diminished performance and prompted carriers to limit the availability of product features. M Principals advocate on behalf of their clients through ongoing service and support.

 

In addition to providing independent advice, creative problem solving, and superior support, M Principals offer access to M’s suite of exclusive products. M Financial works closely with carrier partners to create exclusive products for high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients. These products have historically been built with lower charges and added features not available through retail products generally offered to consumers.

The IRR Case for Life Insurance

Most advisors are familiar with the benefits of life insurance as a vehicle for transferring wealth, but few realize how attractive it is from an internal rate of return (IRR) perspective. Often advisors’ perceptions of the costs and IRR potential of life insurance are based on outdated information about policy design and performance.
