Lincoln Financial Group is a diversified financial services organization, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pa. Lincoln companies offer financial, retirement and estate planning services and a variety of financial and investment products in four distinct business areas – insurance and annuities, individual and group retirement plans, mutual funds and investment management.
In 1905, Robert Todd Lincoln, the only surviving son of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, gave us permission to use the Lincoln name at the founding of our flagship company, The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. Since then, Lincoln has grown to become one of the largest, most enduring and fiscally sound financial services organizations in the United States.
Today, with more than $100 billion in assets under management, we continue to serve the financial needs of our customers nationwide through brokers, planners, agents, and other intermediaries. Our goal is to provide clear and understandable financial information so our customers and their financial advisors have what they need to make sound financial decisions to meet their individual financial goals.

Lincoln National Life Annuities
For consumers who are looking to plan for retirement by growing their income while working or taking an income while retired, Lincoln Financial Group offers an assortment of annuity products that provide financial solutions to meet the individual needs of individuals and families.
Fixed Annuities
Lincoln MYGuarantee Plus Fixed Annuity
The Lincoln MYGuarantee Plus fixed annuity is a single premium annuity that provides several features to help individuals and families meet their needs. It provides a guaranteed initial interest rate for 5 to 10 years with subsequent interest rates that will never be less than the minimum rate specified in the contract. Interest in the fixed account is credited and compounded on a daily basis.
Lincoln’s Fixed Indexed Annuities
Lincoln’s fixed indexed annuities will allow the contract owner to protect savings while offering substantial growth potential because the interest rate is linked to the performance of a market index. Your funds are not directly invested in the market and are protected from market volatility. Lincoln Financial Group offers five types of fixed indexed annuities:
- Lincoln New Directions®
- Lincoln OptiBlend®
- Lincoln OptiChoice®
- Lincoln OptiPoint®
- Lincoln Covered Choice®
Lincoln’s Immediate and Deferred Annuities
If you are ready to take an income stream now, then an immediate annuity is your best solution. If, however, you prefer to start taking income at a later date, a deferred annuity will be the better choice. Lincoln Financial Group provides both types of annuities with their Lincoln Insured Income® Immediate Annuity and the Lincoln Deferred Income Solutions® Annuity.
Lincoln Financial Foundation
Lincoln Financial Foundation awards grants to more than 300 nonprofits each year that empower and improve the lives of many. Contributing to strong, vital communities is not only intrinsic to their values, but they also feel it’s their responsibility.
I believe that when people shop for insurance (or anything else, for that matter) on the Internet, they are looking for a simple, non-intrusive, non-pressure method of doing so.
I strive to treat my prospective clients with the utmost respect and I believe an educated prospect can make the right decision without sales pressure.
Being independent, I represent many highly-rated insurance companies and, because I am not beholden to any one insurance company, my focus is to find the right company and policy for each individual client.
