NAIFA

The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) has redesigned and relaunched the Life Underwriting Training Council Fellow (LUTCF®) program, a three-course training series for one of the most sought-after designations in the insurance industry. Since 1984, NAIFA’s LUTCF has prepared more than 70,000 insurance and financial professionals to excel in the industry and is often the first designation successful agents and advisors earn.

The LUTCF course of study is ideal for financial professionals in their first five years in the business and offers valuable instruction on prospecting, selling, and practice-management. It also provides program graduates with a working knowledge of insurance and investment products available to help clients manage risk.

“Completing the LUTCF was one of the most instrumental things in my career success,” said Brandon Smith, MBA, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, a NAIFA-Virginia member and executive vice president at Milestone Financial Solutions in the Richmond, VA, area. “I went to grad school and completed my MBA before I came into this business. I had my Series 7, my Series 66, but I did not realize what financial planning truly was. The LUTCF program gives you such a good framework. It teaches you all the different components of not just a financial plan but how businesses are organized, how things are taxed, you name it. I now have completing the LUTCF as a requirement at my firm for anyone new who we hire.”

Over the past year, NAIFA has completely reworked and modernized the LUTCF curriculum to make the best use of advances in technology and reflect current insurance industry conditions. The new LUTCF is specifically designed for early-career financial professionals and those who have entered the business via mid-career changes. Course content consists of a series of educational modules presented as self-paced micro-learns. Each module can be accessed online by students and contains both audio and video elements.

“Adult learning theory operates under the premise that adults have a great need to be self-directing or ‘in charge’ of their own learning,” said LUTCF instructional designer Angela Gomez, PhD, BCBE. “These self-paced eLearning modules will afford the learner the opportunity to complete the coursework when their schedule permits and when their environment is best suited for learning.”

To receive the LUTCF designation, candidates must:

  • Successfully complete three courses in the LUTCF education program, including fieldwork assignments and student-learner guides completed with the input of a mentor from the industry.
  • Pass the end-of-program LUTCF examination.
  • Complete the designation application, which requires applicants to be NAIFA members in good standing who agree to abide by NAIFA’s Code of Ethics.

The new LUTCF program emphasizes the value of mentors in the insurance and financial services profession. Fieldwork guides include course-related questions to be discussed with the students’ mentors. Students are encouraged to choose mentors they know within the profession. However, NAIFA will provide a NAIFA member mentor who has earned the LUTCF as necessary.

LUTCF designation holders must renew their designation authorization every three years by completing a renewal application and earning three approved continuing education credits in the subject area of ethics within the three-year authorization period.

“Insurance and financial services is a difficult business to break into and establish yourself. It’s no secret that the washout rate is troublesomely high,” said Laurie A. Adams, CFP, CLU, LUTCF, LACP, chair of the LUTCF Advisory Group. “It is vital to the health and sustainability of the insurance and financial industry that more early-career professionals survive and thrive. It is also vital to the financial security of tens of millions of American families and small businesses. NAIFA has worked with industry experts and leading professional education course designers to modernize the LUTCF program and ensure that it gives today’s early-career financial professionals a leg up in the business. The new LUTCF is designed to give financial professionals in their first five years advantages they need to make it and effectively serve their clients.”

Registration for NAIFA’s LUTCF program is now open. Candidates who complete the educational courses and fulfill the other designation requirements generally earn the LUTCF within one year of beginning the program.

Founded in 1890, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors is the preeminent association for financial service professionals in the United States of America. NAIFA members, in every Congressional district and every state house, subscribe to a strong Code of Ethics and represent a full spectrum of practice specialties to promote financial security for all Americans. Complimented by its professional development and consumer divisions, the Society of Financial Service Professionals, and Life Happens, the association delivers value through advocacy, service, and education.

Hexure

Hexure, a provider of sales and regulatory automation solutions for the life and annuity industry, announced the addition of annuity products to its quoting solution. Annuity quoting with side-by-side comparisons within Hexure’s platform makes finding the right product easier and faster, improving advisor productivity and client satisfaction.

“We are excited to expand our quoting capabilities to enable our clients and their advisors to quickly and easily run quotes for various lines of business and product types from a single platform,” said Kevin Pohmer, chief product officer for Hexure. “By adding annuity quoting to the Hexure platform, advisors no longer need to jump from one system to another to quote and submit life and annuity business. Now from one platform, advisors can quickly quote and compare products and then seamlessly flow into the e-application process for a streamlined, connected and accelerated sales experience.”

Hexure’s comparative quoting solution allows advisors to quickly compare product rates, fees, as well as a host of product and carrier details. With the expansion to include annuities, advisors can now access and filter annuity products based on product type or features and generate proposals to help clients make informed and confident buying decisions.

“Disjointed sales tools and fragmented sales data are a significant hindrance within our industry. In today’s digital landscape, advisors require sales tools that simplify their workflow and provide the necessary capabilities for efficient and effective business operations,” said Pohmer. “At Hexure, we are focused on continually expanding and refining our solutions. The enhancement to our quoting solutions is just one step in our commitment this year to empower our clients and their sales force with connected and streamlined sales processes and data, ultimately ensuring a superior experience for advisors and clients and operational efficiencies.”

The Hexure quoting solution can be accessed through Hexure’s FireLight platform or embedded into any third-party web application, website, or proprietary sales solution where sales need to happen.

Founded in 1995, Hexure provides digital sales solutions to the insurance and financial services industry across various lines of life insurance, annuities, retirement, and wealth management products. Carriers and distributors use its solutions to build customer-centric sales experiences, accelerate submissions, reduce paper processes, meet regulatory requirements, and improve in-good-order sales.

Allianz

Financial professionals who sell life insurance policies for Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) can now use a new tool to create customized, interactive policy proposals.

The tool, Illustrations with Impact, powered by the EnsightTM technology platform, helps financial professionals create strong proposals for their clients.

Designed to accompany and expand on a policy proposal, Illustrations with Impact create full presentations that walk clients through all the ways that fixed index universal life insurance (FIUL) can help secure their financial future. With the click of a button, the tool generates personalized client content, including interactive charts, using value drawn from the details of that client’s policy illustration. The tool also shows the potential over time for accumulation, loans and withdrawals and even a death benefit.

“It’s a powerful way to help clients see the positive financial impact in their own life,” said Jason Wellmann, head of Life Distribution for Allianz Life. “But Illustrations with Impact goes beyond the numbers, instantly putting the proposal into a form that’s easier for the financial professional to explain–and easier for the client to understand.”

The tool pulls from the clients’ information to show how a policy can help address concerns like inflation, taxation, market volatility, and longer life expectancies. It also helps clearly explain signature features of an Allianz Life Pro+® Advantage Fixed Index Universal Life Policy like Index Lock and Auto Lock that can grow the policy’s cash value over time and can help ensure a positive index return in volatile markets.

“Illustrations with Impact helps financial professionals show their clients why they are recommending our life policy,” said Wellmann. “It’s another way we keep adding more value to our relationship with the people who sell our products.”

“Allianz has been at the very forefront of the digital transformation shift over the last several years. We are extremely proud to be helping Allianz enable a better sales experience for Allianz producers and advisors,” said Bill Unrue, CEO, Ensight.

Ensight™ is the leading cloud-based insurance sales acceleration platform for more than 500 life, long term care (LTC) and annuity distributors, thousands of financial professionals, as well as many of the largest North American insurance carriers. Headquartered in San Diego, California, Ensight helps drive sales growth and productivity, while addressing the entire sales lifecycle experience–from prospect to policyholder, new business to inforce.

NAIFA

The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors NAIFA supports the newly introduced Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution disapproving the DOL’s final fiduciary-only rule that will negatively impact and impose new costs on middle- and low-income savers, as well as financial services professionals. CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE, sent letters personally thanking Representative Rick Allen and Senators Joe Manchin, Ted Budd, and Bill Cassidy for introducing the resolution in the House and Senate, respectively. ACLI, NAIFA, Finseca, IRI and NAFA also issued a joint release supporting the CRA review.

Read the letter to Representative Allen: https://2635471.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/2635471/CRA%20Allen%20letter.pdf.

Read the letter to Senators Manchin, Budd, and Cassidy: https://2635471.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/2635471/CRA%20Senate%20letter-1.pdf.

“The Department of Labor failed to learn its lesson when its very similar 2016 fiduciary-only rule failed in the face of a lawsuit brought by NAIFA and others,” Mayeux said. “The current rule will harm the very people the DOL claims to want to protect–low- and middle-income savers–by depriving them of retirement-planning products and services. Financial professionals are required by the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest and annuity-transaction rules and laws in place in 45 states to serve consumers’ best interests. The DOL has decided to ignore these robust protections and impose an additional layer of restrictions on consumers and financial professionals. We thank Representative Allen and Senators Budd, Cassidy, and Manchin for their leadership and urge Congress to adopt the CRA resolution.”

Founded in 1890, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors is the preeminent association for financial service professionals in the United States of America. NAIFA members, in every Congressional district and every state house, subscribe to a strong Code of Ethics and represent a full spectrum of practice specialties to promote financial security for all Americans.

OneAmerica

As part of a new offering from the OneAmerica FinancialSM Female Retirement Professionals Program, OneAmerica Financial and Broadridge Retirement and Workplace are collaborating to provide 30 female financial advisors the opportunity to train for and earn the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®) designation, free of charge.

Created and chaired by Sandy McCarthy, president of Retirement Services at OneAmerica Financial, the Female Retirement Professionals Program aims to engage, empower and elevate women in the financial services industry. Many of the program’s cohesive and multi-faceted offerings—with everything from proprietary research to webinars, best practice guides, thought leadership and more—are centered on findings from the team’s survey of more than 200 female financial advisors, and a corresponding whitepaper that details what McCarthy calls “the 4 Cs”—confidence, community, connection and culture—factors found to fuel success for women advisors.

“Our program goes beyond simply recognizing the importance of recruiting and retaining more women to financial services—which of course is a critical first step,” said McCarthy. “We’re looking to go deeper, though—translating our findings into action and tangibly supporting the growth of women’s careers to maximize opportunities in financial services. We’re taking the 4 Cs to heart.”

The program’s mission struck a chord with Broadridge Retirement and Workplace as it closely aligns with the overall firm’s commitment to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the market and communities they serve.

“Broadridge is proud to continue its work to minimize the gender gap in the financial advisor community by investing in training that will aid in the development and careers of women and people of color. The AIF designation will provide the advisors with valuable training that supports the 4 Cs, differentiates them and helps them deliver superior value to their clients” said Cindy Dash, senior vice president and general manager, Broadridge Retirement and Workplace.

The AIF designation, ranked as one of the top ten financial certifications by U.S. News & World Report1, prepares investment professionals and those managing investments on behalf of others to carry out their fiduciary responsibilities. AIF training teaches advisors how to properly conduct due diligence and formalize an investment strategy so they can demonstrate to clients and prospects that their best interests always come first. The AIF Designation is part of Broadridge Retirement and Workplace’s learning and development suite of solutions.

McCarthy said she is thrilled to be able to extend this offer to women advisors—and to implement access to professional certification as an element of the Female Retirement Professionals Program.

“What Broadridge Retirement and Workplace is offering here is incredibly generous,” said McCarthy. “Together, we have the potential to have a significant impact on this group of advisors—and the clients they currently serve and will serve in the future. The impact will be exponential. It’s inspiring to see our industry colleagues joining forces to make a difference.”
