Who are we and what do we do?

We are your "Financial Protector," your "Financial Knight"

We are all about PROTECTION. We are about providing SAFETY, peace-of-mind, guarantees, a good night's sleep and financial security in an uncertain world. Life has a way of throwing us curve balls. Has everything in your life always worked out 100% as planned? We're here for those curve balls, to help you, your family, and your business to be more financially secure, whether you live long into your retirement years, die too soon, or get sick or hurt along the way and become unable to work and earn an income. We help people maintain their quality of life and standard of living through things like life insurance, disability income protection plans and retirement strategies to create tax-free income, with all gains and zero downside market risk.

We are here to help those who want our help and guidance. While we may be helpful in showing you areas of need you hadn't considered, we are zero about "selling" you on need. We prefer to work with clients who are ready, willing and able to buy, who simply need ideas, guidance and coaching on the best plans and the way to get there.

If this sounds like you, we look forward to hearing from you. We'll probably be a good fit.

Please note........ it is ESSENTIAL that all decision makers are present in all meetings, phone calls, web conferences etc. This helps to use our time together most efficiently and make sure we are all have the same objectives, clarity and goals. Thank you for your cooperation.

What Makes Us Unique?"

Logical Step-By-Step Planning Approach that Makes Sense

Too many advisors simply offer a wide array of options and planning services in a cafeteria style approach, i.e. “we do life insurance, mutual funds and annuities, etc., what do you want?” We think this is WRONG, but it happens all the time. For example, frequently, I see people who have life insurance in place – but NO disability income protection, hands down, the single most critical area of planning – but almost always, the most overlooked. Proper planning should be like doing a surgery or building a house. Things happen in a logical set of steps, and you don’t deviate. You don’t for example start with building the roof, or just dive right in to doing the cabinets and picking out tile; you start with the FOUNDATION, then move on to framing, wiring, plumbing, etc. Good financial planning and risk management should be no different. We help all clients plan for their future financial security the right way, from the bottom up, starting with the foundation. 1) Is protecting your cash flow, your income with disability insurance. 2) Is making sure your loved ones are covered properly with life insurance. 3) Is making sure you have at bare minimum, 6 months worth of liquid savings - ideally a year. 4) Is saving enough for retirement and 5) Is doing everything possible to protect and grow and enjoy your retirement nest egg.

Safety, Guarantees and Protection

Where most financial advisors and brokerage firms only offer and advocate “diversification” i.e. (don’t’ put all your eggs in one basket) in investment portfolios – WE only offer solutions that provide GUARANTEES against market loss. This is a HUGE distinction. To us, only using diversification, without guarantees is nothing more than going to gamble at the casino and using 20 slot machines, instead of 1 – you are STILL gambling! We help our clients to get the best of both worlds when it comes to saving for retirement. We broker exclusively with highly respected top insurance and financial institutions that have consistently earned top "A" ratings from rating companies such as A.M. Best, Standard and Poors, Moody's and Fitch. These companies offer "Indexed Plans" that capture the UPSIDE potential of the stock market when it's doing well -BUT with guaranteed safety and ZERO DOWNSIDE RISK. In over 24 years of doing business, not one client using these plans has lost one single cent, including really bad ones like 2008 when the S&P 500 lost 38.48%.

Tax-Free Retirement Planning

Our nation is literally trillions of dollars in debt. How are we going to pay for that? We think it will be from raising taxes in the future. Therefore, we are a huge fan of contributing to plans with after-tax dollars and getting tax-free distributions in retirement. One challenge for some however, a good problem to have - is they make too much money to contribute to Roth IRAs. We specialize in some unique strategies and plans that allow large contributions without the same limits, restrictions and penalties as IRAs, Roth IRAs and 401Ks.

We are Published

We are a highly respected and known author with our own insurance and financial column in a variety of business journals and other magazines and publications

Over 40 written testimonials with contact information

Almost unheard of, see our 42 written testimonials, many of them with several paragraphs, from very happy clients who are willing to back it up with their actual contact info.

Online efficiency and Technology

We do nearly 100% of our business quickly and efficiently right over the telephone and via web conferences and by email and text. All of our insurance and financial partners provide paperless online "e-applications." This saves everyone time in our busy world.

What do we charge? How do we get paid?

NO FEES

While we could charge a fee of $500 per hour, like many other "fee based" advisors in this industry - we have chosen not to be "fee based" at this time. This can provide significant value to you as the consumer.

How we actually get paid

Instead of charging a fee, we have negotiated contracts with a number of top "A" rated insurance and annuity carriers, and are compensated directly from these carriers when Todd Radwick and Radwick Financial Group, LLC are listed as the exclusive insurance and financial advisor on any corresponding applications for insurance or retirement planning.

Before we provide any insurance, retirement, or financial planning advice or commence with any planning, we simply need you to honor this agreement that Todd Radwick and Radwick Financial Group, LLC will be the exclusive advisor.
