Annuity Buzz
The holiday season and end of 2019 are quickly approaching. To meet your clients’ service expectations during this busy time, put some important dates in your calendar.
Each year, the Portland Business Journal celebrates businesses and nonprofit organizations who partner to meet community needs. This year, the publication’s Corporate Philanthropy Awards recognized The Standard in the enterprise category.
Are your clients trying to keep pace with the ups and downs of the market? An annuity from The Standard can help provide balance in your client’s portfolio.
The third quarter of 2019 was mixed for markets throughout the world. U.S. large-cap equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, gained 1.70% for the quarter and are now up 20.55% year-to-date.
Hear about The Standard’s promise to be there when you need us. Watch the third video in our series.

If you contacting us for annuity illustration requests, try running your own! Why? It eliminates lag time because you don’t have to wait for help from the home office.
At The Standard, caring about people is a core value. We're committed to helping communities across the United States where our employees live and work. It’s how we strive to make a real difference in the places we call home.
Even in a low interest-rate environment, an annuity’s compounded growth and tax-deferral can grow your client’s savings faster than you may think. A fixed, deferred annuity often provides principal protection, no matter what’s happening on Wall Street.
Nobody likes to add time or paperwork to the application process. But that’s what happens when we receive incomplete applications. To avoid delays, pay close attention to three boxes on the form and fill them out correctly in the first place.
I’m happy to share another short video to give you and your clients a feel for who we are and how The Standard’s values define how we do business. Enjoy.
