According to studies and reports that measure the "boomers" preparedness for retirement, retirees over the next several years will depend heavily on the Social Security retirement benefit. As such, there will be increasing pressure on financial professionals to understand the retirement benefits provided by Social Security and integrate these benefits into clients' retirement plans. This course will provide an in-depth discussion of all Social Security benefits, will examine the implications of delaying retirement benefits or collecting early, and will discuss recent changes to the Medicare benefit system.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index.  The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies.

This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts.  The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.

This class presents the concept of ethics, how it relates to the sales and service of insurance, and how ethics creates the foundation for personal and professional success. The class sets the foundation by examining ethics as a moral and legal force. It then previews the ethical responsibilities agents owe to their insurers, their policy owners, their states, and the general public. Practical issues such as the proper use of policy illustrations, replacement, and ethical sales presentations are also discussed.

Who gets the money? A few small words can have enormous consequences, so it’s critical to be sure that beneficiary designations are done correctly.  All too often the beneficiary designation is taken lightly or done with insufficient understanding of the potential problems, particularly in increasingly common situations involving blended families.

In this course attendees will learn how to be sure that the beneficiary designations reflect the owners’ intention and avoid land mines that can result in funds going to the wrong person and adverse tax and probate consequences.  The course will cover individual beneficiaries, minor beneficiaries, trust beneficiaries, per stirpes beneficiaries and beneficiaries for business plans.  Life insurance, annuities, and retirement plans will be addressed.

With the retirement of the "baby boomers" well underway, understanding the options and the requirements under the laws, rules and regulations governing IRAs is becoming even more important. This course will review the features and benefits of IRA plans and the relative advantages and disadvantages of different types of IRAs and different IRA strategies. The course will place particular emphasis on distribution options and requirements, understanding transfers and rollovers under the new rules, and IRA conversions.
