Anniversaries are a time to celebrate where we come from and how we’ve changed and evolved, innovating every step of the way.

If the last 40 years have taught us anything, it’s that it pays to be flexible. Like many others in 2020, we had to change the way we do business in response to a global pandemic, becoming a nearly 100% remote workforce almost overnight. With the help of our stellar Flexible Plan family and exceptional adviser partners and investor clients, we continued to provide the latest in risk-managed investment solutions and outstanding service we’re known for. Being nimble, flexible, innovative, and adaptable is how we’ve survived and thrived long enough to celebrate our 40th anniversary this year—and it is what will carry us forward into the next 40.

“Flexible Plan will constantly be changing. We’ll constantly be innovating, because that’s what we’re committed to do. You can’t work in multiple market environments without being flexible and without being innovative. I don’t think that’ll ever change.”

Jerry Wagner — President/Founder, Flexible Plan Investments
