Build Your Financial Future
Organizing personal finances and planning for the future can be daunting. MassMutual Greater Houston understands the barriers and can guide clients through the process the right way. Whether you are just beginning or already have strategies in place, MassMutual Greater Houston can help you build your financial future.
MassMutual began in a single room in 1851 to help people protect their family and their future. More than 160 years later, the nationwide Fortune 500 company has that same purpose and long-term perspective at its core. Since its inception, MassMutual has provided financial and retirement security to millions of people, paid dividends to participating policy owners every year and earned the highest financial strength ratings.
Listed as one of the world’s most admired companies in 2013 and 2014 by Fortune magazine, MassMutual’s thousands of trained financial professionals are located across the United States and Puerto Rico at branches like MassMutual Greater Houston.
A Personal Approach
Defined by its mutuality, MassMutual Greater Houston operates for the benefit of policy owners. The company is committed to providing experienced people, exceptional products and a realistic, needs-based approach to your financial strategy, working with you to understand your unique situation and goals for the future. Financial needs shift and evolve throughout a lifetime, so MassMutual financial professionals get to know you so they can provide solutions that address your specific situations.
Prudent Investment Philosophy
MassMutual seeks to generate long-term stable investment performance to support its financial strength and ability to meet its financial commitment to policy owners. MassMutual adheres to its disciplined investment approach grounded in diversification, prudent security selection and relative value. As a mutual company, MassMutual takes a long-term view when investing, focusing less on short-term fluctuations in asset values.
Diverse Products
MassMutual’s offerings include products that help protect you, your family and your business against life’s greatest risks to help secure your financial future. While whole life insurance continues to be the company’s foundation, MassMutual and its affiliated companies offer an array of insurance and investment products and provides retirement services for institutional investors and corporate, union, nonprofit and governmental employees’ compensation plans.
Business Planning
We know what it takes to build a successful business. It takes vision, preparedness, skills and desire—not to mention a focused dedication to achieving set goals. Most business owners work hard and make many sacrifices to grow their business. That’s why they should put just as much energy into protecting it as they did building it. No business plan is complete without a financial strategy for the unexpected. We start by exploring all protection options. Then develop a long-term strategy that can help protect the continuity of the business should the owner, a partner, or key employee decide to retire, leave the business, or unexpectedly dies or becomes disabled.
Most business owners spend the majority of their time working in their business instead of on their business. We help ensure that the business protection needs that are critical to the long-term success of your business are taken care of.
Qualified and Experienced
MassMutual and its general agencies provide financial professionals with considerable training, including needs-based analysis techniques so they can offer solutions and guidance that match best for you and your goals. Most of MassMutual’s financial professionals have accrued numerous industry designations and certifications and are registered representatives that can provide a range of investment products through MassMutual’s broker dealer. Drive, passion, the desire and ability to work independently toward a vision make up several components of the formula to success. Following are our MassMutual Greater Houston’s top producers.
