Vanbridge, an EPIC Company
Vanbridge was conceived out of the desire to better serve the alternative asset management community by bridging the traditional insurance industry and capital markets and allowing them to tap into the best aspects of both.
Vanbridge focuses on alternative asset management, corporate and individual high net worth clients to solve risk-related issues utilizing insurance and alternative capital. Our unique structuring and plan design techniques support various client objectives including cost reductions and enhancements to investment strategies that strengthen long-term financial performance.

Life & Executive Benefits Brokerage Agency Services
Knowledge of the investment advisory space affords us a unique point of view.
We strengthen the positions of our Resident Investment Advisor (RIA), Insurance Broker, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Law Firm and Financial Planning clients as industry leaders by expanding their offerings to include service and solutions that span the life, disability, annuity and executive benefits marketplace, including superior consulting on risk-related solutions.
In an industry that has struggled to evolve beyond the transactional, we choose to put our own interests, or the interests of a particular company, aside to focus solely on the best interests of our clients. Simply put, we look at insurance planning through a consultative lens to offer a new concept in risk planning, one that brings the entire picture into focus by providing coordinated advice about executive benefits, estate, tax, distributions, business succession and other financial matters. The turnkey services we offer encompass everything on a wholesale/brokerage general agency (BGA) chassis with the capability to offer full-service resources, including direct-to-client consulting support. We’ll work with you and your clients directly, emphasizing the client-advisor relationship, to determine and facilitate their potential needs and/or analysis.
By broadening the scope of solutions and professional services available, this new platform will allow you to focus more on your clients, their priorities and how to best serve clients to ensure we’re all well-positioned for even greater growth. Our unique consultative model includes but is not limited to:
- Executive benefits, corporate-owned life insurance (COLI), universal, indexed, current assumption, whole and variable life insurance, term insurance, survivorship, disability, long term care, private placement, annuities
