Let us help you protect your clients' retirement income from market volatility.

Since March 2009 when stocks bottomed out during the financial crisis, the S&P 500® has gone up 332%.1 This historic rebound currently stands as the longest bull run in history. On March 12, 2020, however, this bull market ended.

After over a decade of market growth, it’s easy to forget about any looming financial threats. But financial markets can quickly change.

When market conditions head south, will your current retirement strategy withstand the opposing market forces? Your answer will depend on several factors, including how you’re invested, your age, whether you’re still working, and if you’ve already started withdrawing money set aside for your retirement.

View the short videos below for a brief visual history of the market and alternatives built to help withstand its downturns.
