insurance, we pride ourselves on offering world-class resources to
a top-tier group of Partner BGAs, and our longevity and success
will always be due to the success of our Partners. We are fortunate
to be the company they chose to have as a partner," said
William Shelow, CLU®, ChFC®, CPCU®,
LLIF, President and Chief Executive Officer, LifeMark Partners. One
of the fundamental forces behind LifeMark Partners' success has
been its continued investment in competitive resources to enhance
the distribution of life insurance nationwide. As such, they have
focused on three critical initiatives: Access. Expertise.
Partnership.

LifeMark Partners enhances access as well as
the underwriting process by partnering closely with their 20+
insurance carrier relationships and adds additional resources such
as exclusive access to Swiss Re and Hannover Re Underwriting
manuals as well as unique reinsurance arrangements and their own
Medical Director. This competitive advantage is further enhanced
with exclusive large capacity reinsurance access.

been a huge focus for LifeMark," said Shelow. "Our ultimate goal is
to help people of all walks of life get the insurance they need in
the most streamlined manner possible."
Expertise
LifeMark Partners' expertise in case design
and product support comes from its 40 years of experience within
the industry as well as collaboration with industry-leading
technology providers, such as LifeTrends. Proprietary policy
review tools and advanced business succession and charitable
planning strategies, also allows Partners to expand insurance
distribution opportunities.
