Services


Individual Life Insurance
No one needs life insurance. Life insurance is not about need but opportunity - it’s a choice. We provide our clients with the knowledge and information they need to make an informed decision that’s right for them, not us.
We structure insurance efficiently to ensure the preservation of wealth and effective succession of businesses and other assets.
We assist with:
- Life insurance
- Critical illness insurance
- Disability insurance
- Annuities
- Individual pension plans
- Long term care insurance
- Employee benefits
(group life, health and pension)


Financial Planning
Financial planning is not retirement planning.
Our clients do not wonder when they can retire but rather how to best optimize their assets to minimize tax and enhance their legacy. We build the roadmap and they choose the path. We allow our clients to make informed decisions based on their best interests, not ours.


Pension & Benefits Consulting
We work predominantly with private equity firms and family offices looking for innovative solutions to their unique pension and benefits challenges.
- Private equity specialists
- Multi-employer pool creation & management
- Macro-level portfolio reporting
- Merger & acquisition support – due diligence

Completely independent of all insurance companies and suppliers.

With the exceptional growth of Summit Wealth over the years, along with our commitment to providing clients with unparalleled advice, we have meticulously and selectively grown our team of professionals. Our team currently includes financial planners, insurance advisors, financial consultants, analysts, associates and more.
At Summit Wealth, we are proud to have a team of experts with diverse professional backgrounds and skill sets, as we believe in challenging one another’s viewpoints to enhance our creativity and solutions.
