A licensed advisor reviews and signs

An advisor at Pinnacle Advisors (Series 65 + state insurance licensure) reviews the data, models scenarios specific to your contract age and surrender phase, and writes a plain-English recommendation. Their name and license appear on the report.

EVERY REVIEW

You get the report

Delivered within 48 business hours of confirmation. It includes the data, the analysis, the recommendation, and the reasoning. No follow-up email asking whether you would like to discuss options.

48-HOUR SLA

You decide

If the recommendation is hold, you do nothing. If it is exit, we can refer you to a fee-only fiduciary to execute — but we do not earn anything that depends on you buying a new product. Our work ends when the report is delivered.
