Burnham Gibson and Burnham Benefits Earned Record Gains for Clients and Each Other in 2011 With Unique Employee-Benefits and Financial Services Partnership Feb 8, 2012 05:55PM

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/08/12 -- Burnham Gibson Financial Group, Inc., a full-service financial services firm based in Orange County, Calif., wrapped up 2011 with solid revenue and personnel growth and additional expansion planned for 2012. The company works synergistically with Burnham Benefits Insurance Services, each offering the other's product and service lines to complement its own. The strategic alignment allows both firms to offer the wide breadth of services found in larger institutions while maintaining a high level of expertise and personalized service.

"We aligned our businesses to offer clients a full suite of services addressing multiple financial needs, and the strategy is working incredibly well," says Darin Gibson, president of Burnham Gibson Financial Group. "An increased percentage of Burnham Benefits' clients are utilizing our pension consulting services, and we're gaining traction on executive benefit engagements. The partnership operates as a natural, seamless extension of both businesses. The momentum continues to build."

That momentum requires more office space and personnel for Burnham Gibson -- needs that will be addressed with an additional Los Angeles office and recruitment of both young talent and established consultants in L.A., San Francisco and San Diego. These moves follow a successful 2011, which produced 34% growth and included the addition of a dedicated professional in San Diego. The Orange County Business Journal (OCBJ) named Burnham Gibson the #18 Largest Financial Adviser in Orange County in 2011, and members of the company were featured in Investment Advisor, The Wall Street Transcript, "Unlock Your Wealth" radio, Wealth Briefing, Financial Advisor, Life Insurance Selling and Practical Tax Strategies Magazine.

Burnham Benefits is experiencing an equal measure of success. Burnham Benefits continues to acquire books of business and looks to hire as many as 10 additional consultants in 2012 to accommodate the 18% personnel growth, 22% revenue growth, and 100% staff retention it saw in 2011. The expansion went beyond the company's Irvine headquarters and now includes Los Angeles and East Coast corporate offices. This upward trajectory contributed to Burnham Benefits' being named in the small business category of the Best Places to Work in Orange County, a nomination for the OCBJ Women in Business issue and a ranking as the #19 Largest Insurance Broker in Orange County by OCBJ. The company has also appeared in IndustryWeek, OCBJ, Workforce Management, Los Angeles Times, California Broker, San Diego Business Journal, Bloomberg Law Reports and Employee Benefits Advisor.

Both firms are immersed in evolving regulatory environments, and consultants are committed to taking an active role in helping clients navigate the related issues and tackle each new challenge with real knowledge and experience. That means adjusting strategies ahead of change, not waiting for deadlines that can back clients into a corner. Burnham Benefits' seasoned professionals, for example, are well acquainted with healthcare reform and can handle fully and self-funded HRAs to HSAs as well as the associated charges. "As part of our strategic growth plan for 2012, we are actively acquiring books of business and talented professionals who complement and strengthen the organization," says Kristen Allison, president of Burnham Benefits. "Independent brokers are aligning with us because we have the resources of a large firm that allow brokers to maintain their sense of entrepreneurship. They trust us with their clients because we can handle things without bureaucracy. Our decision to align with Burnham Gibson is an excellent example of our ability to create opportunities without sacrificing client service."

Together, Burnham Gibson and Burnham Benefits have created a one-stop shop that handles all their clients' benefits, insurance and financial needs with industry-leading expert talent, a strong infrastructure and boutique-style customer service. The strategic alliance allows both firms to help fill a void in the local market for clients interested in taking an integrative approach to financial and insurance products and services.

Valuing Your Valentine: Which Body Part of Your Lover Would You Insure? Feb 8, 2012 05:54PM

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to insuring a spouse's or partner's body parts, Americans would go with the head or the heart.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110210/DA46287LOGO)

A survey conducted on behalf of InsuranceQuotes.com by Harris Interactive indicates that cupid's arrow strays far from lips and smiles, butts, breasts, legs and other body parts that some celebrities have insured for millions of dollars. Among those in relationships, Americans say they would prefer to insure a spouse's or partner's brain (23 percent) or heart (22 percent) when asked to choose only one body part. The survey was conducted in January 2012 among 2,625 U.S. adults.

"Intelligence and emotion are two of the qualities that we look for most in our spouses and partners. The brain and the heart are very closely associated with those qualities. It makes perfect sense that Americans would want to protect the brain and heart of their Valentines," says John Egan, managing editor of InsuranceQuotes.com.

The survey asked: If you could insure only one body part of your spouse, significant other or partner, which of the following, if any, would you pick? Aside from the top two vote-getters (brain, heart), options included eyes, chest, hands, legs, teeth, lips, rear end and hair.

Among people in relationships, these are other body parts that they say they would single out to insure:

  • None -- 23 percent.
  • Eyes -- 8 percent.
  • Chest -- 3 percent.
  • Hands -- 3 percent.
  • Legs -- 3 percent.
  • Teeth -- 2 percent.
  • Lips -- 2 percent.
  • Rear end -- 2 percent.
  • Hair -- 1 percent.

To read more about the survey, visit www.insurancequotes.com/body_parts_insurance.

Survey methodology

This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of InsuranceQuotes.com from Jan. 9-11, 2012, among 2,625 adults age 18 and older. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and, therefore, no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. For complete survey methodology, including weighting variables, please contact John Egan at john.egan@insurancequotes.com.
