01 Who we are

One firm, both sides of the industry

Most firms specialize in either investments or insurance, and plan from that side only. Advanced Group works on both. Our affiliated practices cover the two core services that today's financial products grew from, plus every major by-product built on top of them.

Four industry fields, one conversation

Insurance

Whole Life and its by-products, product design, carrier comparison and policy structuring.

Investments

Individual securities, research, and the pooled products built from them.

Planning

Retirement income, asset transfer, compensation and account structure.

Retail & institutional consulting

Individual clients and employer and institutional plans.

Because we work in both industries, we can compare a mutual fund with a fixed annuity, or a variable annuity with Whole Life, on the same terms: net dollars, after fees and taxes.
Institutional markets

Firms whose clients ask about life insurance

We work with commercial and institutional organizations whose individual and business clients want to obtain or compare life insurance based policies, through brokerage and affiliate partnerships.
