This week, Jack Sharry talks with David Lau, Founder & CEO at DPL Financial Partners. David is an innovator and disruptor in the financial services industry and one of the pioneers in fee-based annuities and in making annuities more accessible. His firm focuses on integrating innovative insurance products into a fee-based advisory practice, helping advisors deliver greater value and better outcomes for investors through transparent, cost-effective solutions.
David and Jack explore the transformation underway in how advisors integrate annuities into a fee-based, household-level practice. They discuss why commission-based annuities are giving way to low-cost, fee-based structures, how technology is making annuity analysis scalable across entire books of business, and why asset location within a household — including tax deferral through investment-only variable annuities — is the clearest path to better client outcomes.

Quotes
"We build technology that commoditizes annuity knowledge. So now you don't need to be an advisor trying to figure out which annuity is best or which will suit your client. You just tell us about the client, and we give you the best annuity." ~ David Lau
"Working to bring capabilities together and being able to analyze the efficiency of asset location within a household is incredibly powerful." ~ David Lau
"You always have to stay on top of what's going on in the market because it's evolving quite a bit, not only from a technology point of view but also from a product point of view. And all of this convergence really makes a difference." ~ David Lau
