Newport Beach, Calif. (May 20, 2008) – Pacific Life Insurance Company has added a new team to support 401(k) initiatives, the Retirement Plan Consultants (RPCs). “Our field force asked for help in the retirement area, and we are providing resources to support them,” says Reed Lloyd, assistant vice president, Advanced Marketing Department in Pacific Life’s Annuities & Mutual Funds Division.
The RPCs are strategically located throughout the country to help financial professionals introduce Pacific Life’s mutual funds for 401(k) plans to existing and potential employer clients, as well as support Pacific Life’s Individual(k) Program. Pacific Life launched its Individual(k) Program in September 2004 for self-employed business owners and their spouses. The RPC team includes Patrick Lutes, Jason Orsini, Ruben Ramirez, and Bill Robuck.
The three main objectives of the four RPCs will be to help financial professionals identify potential client opportunities, serve as a liaison between third-party administrators and financial professionals to share information such as 401(k) plan administration, and work with Pacific Life’s internal teams to support broker/dealer retirement specialists. With more than 75 years of combined experience and knowledge of the complexities involved in the 401(k) market, this team is uniquely designed to facilitate these relationships and sales.
Founded in 1868, Pacific Life provides life insurance products, annuities, and mutual funds and offers a variety of investment products and services to individuals, businesses, and pension plans.1 Pacific Life counts more than half of the 50 largest U.S. companies as clients2 and is a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA), whose membership promotes high ethical standards for the sale of individual life insurance and annuities.
