Barry Salzman, Joshua Mauer, and Michael Hoff are Wealth Managers with Steward Partners participating in the Steward Partners Discretionary Management program. The Discretionary Management program is an investment advisory program in which the client’s Wealth Manager invests the client’s assets on a discretionary basis in a range of securities.  The Discretionary Management program is described in the applicable Steward Partners ADV Part 2, available at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/Firm/283004 or from your Wealth Manager.

Steward Partners Investment Solutions, LLC offers insurance products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.

Since life insurance and long-term care insurance are medically underwritten, you should not cancel your current policy until your new policy is in force.  A change to your current policy may incur charges, fees and costs.  A new policy will require a medical exam. Surrender charges may be imposed and the time frame for which the surrender charges apply may increase with a new policy.  You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding your potential tax liability on surrenders.

Guarantees and contractual obligations are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

A taxable equivalent yield is only one of many factors that should be considered when making an investment decision. Steward Partners and its Wealth Managers do not offer tax advice; investors should consult their tax advisors before making any tax-related investment decisions.
