Proud of What We Do
empowering financial institutions to help people PLAN the lives they want
At Clarke, our mission is straightforward. It’s what we do everyday – find ways for banks, broker-dealers, credit unions, and producer groups to offer Annuity, Long-Term Care, and Life Insurance programs more effectively. Our difference? We create and support customized institutional solutions with an advisor focus. After all, advisors engage with people planning for their futures. When an advisor successfully identifies the right solutions to maximize a customer’s wealth, everyone wins. Empowerment means providing profitability on every level — peace of mind and prosperity for the customer, income for the advisor, and most importantly, more assets under management for those we serve.

Testimonials
Gary Campbell
CEO & Chairman Financial Advocates Olympia, Washington
“Business has to be a win-win situation, and with Clarke it is. I’ve worked in financial services since 1987, and with Clarke for the past ten years. The relationship works, because everyone from leadership to wholesaler understands our bank, credit union and advisor relationships. Clarke offers more than product. The wholesaler presence is everywhere, all the time — meeting with advisors, attending our conferences, conducting training — making business easy. ”
Richard Lane
The Standard Insurance Company Bellevue, Washington
“Clarke Financial Group is consistently one of The Standard top independent marketing organization, I view them as the closest thing Standard has to a captive partner. We’ve worked with Michael Denton and Steve Gates for the past 10 years — as long as I’ve been with Standard. Not only does Clarke know our business in some respects better than we do, they helped shape and mold our fixed annuity product line from A to Z. Clarke breathes life into Standard, because of its great tenure, industry knowledge, and connections throughout the bank and broker dealer world.”
Lynne Phillips
Director, Director, Licensed Bankers and FMS Insurance Synovus Securities, Inc. Columbus, Georgia
“With 27 years in financial services and 14 years spent at Synovus, I value and appreciate our 10 year relationship with Clarke Financial Group. Ron Tuerk, our External Wholesaler, has excellent product knowledge. He works directly in the field with our agents every week. Naomi Whitmer, Clarke’s Operations Manager, provides me with fast and efficient responses. Most importantly, Clarke’s online account application process is the best I have seen. The Advisor Portal Dashboard with AnnuityXpress results in less NIGOs and is a huge plus to our licensed brokers.”
