Jameson Mulshenock is a Divisional Sales Manager at Lincoln Financial, a firm that has been helping millions of people plan, protect, and retire for over a century.

  • High net worth investors, who hold nearly half of U.S. investable assets, mainly focusing on wealth preservation, tax reduction, and asset transfer, as $84 trillion is set to change hands in the coming decades.
  • Lincoln Financial introduced a new benefit that allows affluent clients to secure lifetime income while ensuring their beneficiaries receive either the greater of the investment amount or account value upon their passing.
  • They highlight scenarios where this benefit can support clients, especially for couples with age differences, those interested in tax-efficient wealth transfer, and individuals fulfilling required minimum distributions.
