Unfortunately, there are no do-overs in retirement planning. If you get it wrong, the results can be costly, perhaps even devastating. There is a retirement crisis in America. Gene Bond is part of a nationwide network working to change that so that Americans can enjoy a successful retirement. A retirement where the future is secure, where a person can have peace of mind, and one where a person can sleep well at night (SWAN). Gene will work with you to create an income stream you cannot outlive and eliminate the Number 1 fear most pre-retirees and retirees have: running out of money during their lifetime.

For Gene, his clients being able to have peace of mind and sleep well at night (SWAN) are more than just a catchy slogan. It’s built into his logo. He includes a swan in his logo as a reminder to his clients that he is watching over their retirement income plan day and night so that regardless of what happens in the stock market or the economy, their financial future is secure. This provides them with peace of mind, and they are able to sleep well at night (SWAN).

On April 1, 2000, Gene founded the Bond Sales Academy (BSA). BSA helps financial professionals learn how they can best serve their clients. This is accomplished by helping advisors learn the good, the bad, and the ugly components that all financial products have. This way, the advisors can better explain to their clients and prospective clients these components so that the client/prospective client can make an informed, educated, and intelligent decision as to what financial products they feel best suit them.

Bond Financial Group is part of a national team of Nobel Prize-winning economists, attorneys, CPAs, tax advisors, insurance & financial planning professionals, actuaries, and government officials working to create a strategic alliance with other financial professionals to reduce taxes and build wealth for their clients. They represent multiple carriers and plans, so their loyalty is to you, their client. Since they are independent, they can remain impartial while searching for the best plan to fit your insurance and investment needs.

In 2021, he was asked to be a Producer for “The Baby Boomer Dilemma” movie. The movie is a groundbreaking documentary that, for the first time ever, explores the SCIENCE of retiring successfully. It explains how a person, or a couple, can have a scientifically optimized retirement. This type of retirement doesn’t guess how your retirement and income plan should be designed, it doesn’t hope that it is designed correctly, it mathematically and scientifically proves how you should design your retirement and income plan so that you get it right. So that you can optimize your retirement and income plan to maximize the income and minimize the federal income tax you could pay.
