Symetra and 3 Mark Financial Pioneer Wealth Management Solution On National Level

Houston, Texas / Bellevue, Wash. — (July 17, 2007) — 3 Mark Financial, Inc. and Symetra Life Insurance Co. have teamed up to make a new wealth management solution widely available among financial services professionals nationwide. More than 18,000 advisors affiliated with 3 Mark Financial will now have access to Symetra Complete Variable Life Insurance1, an advanced financial planning product specifically designed for high net worth individuals.

The collaboration combines Symetra’s product innovation with 3 Mark Financial’s extensive distribution network, making it easier for customers to use Symetra Complete for their wealth transfer needs. Formed in 1997, 3 Mark Financial is an independent marketing organization specializing in wealth management, investments, life insurance, annuities and other insurance products.

"Our advisors are always seeking ways to help affluent customers build and protect assets, while still avoiding a heavy income tax burden for heirs," said Bill Propper, President of 3 Mark Financial. "Symetra Complete is a unique asset management vehicle that achieves these objectives. It offers us a wealth management solution that, until recently, was simply not available."

Different than traditional life insurance, Symetra Complete is a dynamic financial planning tool that blends the tax-efficient wealth transfer benefits of life insurance with the financial growth associated with an annuity. The product features a unique daily calculation that ensures customers pay only the minimum amount required to cover their life insurance policy’s death benefit — making it one of the most cost-effective wealth transfer solutions on the market. Funds may be distributed among a variety of sub-accounts to generate investment returns. In addition, premiums can be scheduled to meet specific customer needs and are not mandatory in any given year.
