INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS Now more than ever, informed investors are choosing to work with Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firms like Pacific Financial. An RIA firm typically serves higher net worth investors who are not inclined to pursue a do-it-yourself approach.

RIA firms like Pacific Financial function in the role of a fiduciary. This means the firms’s primary legal duty is to act solely in the best interests of our clients. This duty also requires full and fair disclousure of all facts considered material to the client’s investment decisions, especially those related to fees. For example, if two investment products offer a similar risk and return profile- but one costs less than the other- the RIA practitioner (fiduciary) is legally obligated to recommend the lower cost option. By contrast, there is no legal requirement for non-fiduciary advisors to do likewise.

In fact, many (if not most) investment practitioners working for banks and brokerage firms (broker-dealers) are actually salespeople, defined by regulators as registered representatives. Unlike a fiduciary, registered representatives operate according to what is known as the suitability standard. Under suitability rules, the primary legal duty is the registered representative’s employer, not necessarily to the client. This is a less stringent legal standard than the one imposed on a fiduciary like Pacific Financial.
LIFE SETTLEMENT LIFE SETTLEMENT If you own a life insurance policy, you now have an opportunity to dispose of your life insurance policy by selling the policy on the secondary market. The secondary market is comprised of institutional investors such as banks or financial institutions, who pay cash upon the exchange of ownership.

The concept is rather straightforward and easy to conceptualize. However, it is a very complex series of transactions that should be handled only by a qualified professional who possesses the resources to properly structure the transaction. There are many components that make up a life settlement such as institutional buyers, lending institutions, attorneys, and insurance carriers. Every component plays a crucial role in the establishment and execution of this financial transaction.

The benefits of this procedure enables the policy owner who no longer sees a need to continue the policy to sell it for cash proceeds.
PREMIUM FINANCE PREMIUM FINANCE Life insurance is a critical part of any comprehensive financial picture. Structured properly, life insurance can provide liquidity to cover and minimize estate taxes, enhance your estate for beneficiaries, and provide a lasting legacy to your family, or charitable organization.

Premium financing is a strategy that allows you to purchase the life insurance needed to accomplish your financial goals with bank financing. Simply put, you borrow the money to pay the premiums on the life insurance policies and pay back the loan from the death benefit.

In most cases, an irrevocable trust is established, or may be a business entity. The client is often required to personally guarantee the loan. Eventually, the trust, or business, will receive the policy’s death benefit minus any loan principal, fees, and accrued interest outstanding at the time of the insured’s death.
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE COMMERICAL MORTGAGE A First Position Commercial Mortgage is a private third-party loan to a facilitator that is secured by commercial real estate. Private lenders select a commercial mortgage from the facilitator’s inventory to serve as collateral for their private loan. They are recorded on title and acquire a first lien position on the mortgage, and the facilitator pays each lender immediate monthly interest payments at a fixed annual yield, generally between 5% and 7% for one year, with a return of principal at the end of the one year term.

In today’s uncertain environment, we offer safer alternatives to help our clients reach their financial goals. For private lenders seeking to earn higher fixed annual yields with the assurance that their funds are secured by commercial real estate, Pacific Financial has the solution.
FIAs FIXED INDEXED ANNUITIES A Fixed Index Annuity combines the traditional value of guarantees, with the opportunity to earn more interest than a traditional deferred annuity. It’s main feature guarantees that your money will never be lost, or go down in value, and your gains are locked-in each year. It is a safe money product backed by the financial strength of the insurance carrier guaranteeing safety, income, liquidity, and tax deferral.

The interest earned can be substantially higher because it ties the interest (return) to an external market index. This product was developed as an alternative to traditional savings vehicles because of it’s ability to provide greater returns. In addition, it’s useful for those who are adverse to risk in the stock market. A fixed indexed annuity is not an investment. A fixed indexed annuity is a contractually guaranteed transfer-of-risk strategy, and a non-correlated asset.

Please note: A Fixed Annuity should not be confused with a Variable Annuity. Variable Annuities are securities, sold by prospectus, and you can lose your money because you carry the risk of its performance. A Fixed Indexed Annuity is not a security, and therefore, your principal and earnings are guaranteed to never lose value.

In other words, you have no risk with a Fixed Indexed Annuity, and you have risk with a Variable Annuity.
WEALTH TRANSFER WEALTH TRANSFER There are few things more important to successfully transferring wealth than solid financial planning. The failure to plan a tax-efficient wealth transfer can greatly diminish the amount of wealth that ultimately reaches the next generation. With so much focus on building an effective retirement plan, creating an equally effective plan for transferring hard-earned assets can unfortunately be an afterthought.

Some key points to consider when planning a tax-efficient wealth transfer include being proactive, involve family members in the process, find an experienced and trusted advisor, explore the various options and develop a charitable giving plan.

With sufficient time and planning, you, your family and your advisors can design a wealth transfer plan that is both tax-efficient and fair to all. Proper planning for wealth transfer is an area of specialization for Red River Advisors and we welcome the opportunity to help you craft a plan that you and your family can be proud of.
