Benefits of Adding Insurance to Your Wealth Management Practice

As a financial advisor, you understand the importance of diversification. Distributing risk across an investment portfolio while increasing its exposure to a variety of asset classes has historically been a winning — and profitable — strategy. But have you considered applying the same principle to your practice?

Right now might be the perfect time to explore growing your book of business, broadening your scope of services and expanding beyond your existing wealth management work. An insurance franchise can provide a reliable, recession-resistant income stream while also serving as a lead-generation machine for your consultancy. Working with a general agent leaves money on the table and denies you valuable business-building opportunities. We Insure offers a turnkey approach that includes comprehensive sales and back-end support, with potential benefits that just keep compounding.

·         More comprehensive service. Building and maintaining wealth doesn’t just happen in the market. Protecting the assets you’ve helped your clients grow — like investment accounts, homes and property — allows you to address wealth management in a more personal and holistic way.

·         Increased cross-selling opportunities. Insurance clients can become your advisory clients, and vice versa. Existing relationships can serve as a springboard for new revenue streams, regardless of how they initially developed.

·         Exposure to new markets. You can expand into new markets more easily by incorporating a robust insurance offering. Carrying commercial lines can become an entry point into retirement plan work, which could open doors and connections to all of a company’s 401(k) participants.

·         Additional customer touch points. Every time a customer’s policy comes up for renewal, you have an opportunity to reach out and reconnect. Also, as clients’ life circumstances evolve (e.g., they purchase a second home or grow their family), you can advise on changes to their coverage and any other emerging financial needs they might have.

·         Recession resistance. Volatile market swings and recessions create strong headwinds for advisory practices, but people will always need insurance. Add a recession-resistant financial product to your offering that can provide ballast to your revenue stream.
