Kibble & Prentice Commercial Services

WE WILL HELP YOU CREATE VALUE FOR YOUR COMPANY

At Kibble & Prentice, we build in-depth relationships with clients, based on mutual

understanding and appreciation of their business objectives. This spirit of collaboration

provides the foundation for creating the optimal risk management solution for each

company. Kibble & Prentice consultants are recognized specialists in their respective

disciplines, including risk management, business continuation and employee programs.

We work with you as a creative and knowledgeable partner — leaving you with more

time to focus on your core operations and growth strategy.

CLIENT-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS

In order to craft the right solutions, we make it a point to understand your needs and

concerns and pay attention to the details unique to your industry and to you. The result

is a program comprehensively tailored to your specifications and challenges. We are

headquartered in the Northwest, but no matter where you are based, you’ll be working

with professionals who know you and are committed to your long-term success.

SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE

Custom work requires insight, experience and the mindset of an entrepreneur — always

on the lookout for a better way to do things. At Kibble & Prentice, our professionals

command the full repertoire of risk management and benefits tools. We enable you to

keep pace with legal changes and market conditions, solve problems, anticipate

potential risks and, most importantly, ensure that you are properly prepared.

CONTINUITY AND DEPTH OF RELATIONSHIPS

Our consultative approach requires a high level of client contact. We have

structured our organization so that our most experienced executives remain

involved in client relationships. And our teams have depth: Several support staff

to every sales executive. We know it makes a big difference in the level and

quality of access, communication and outcomes for clients.

ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS AND PRICING

At Kibble & Prentice, our solutions are structured to control costs and optimize

value. We’ve established strong relationships with many of our industry’s most

Kibble & Prentice Private Client Services

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS?

At Kibble & Prentice, this question drives everything we do. Risk management is a dual

proposition: We help clients protect their property and invest their assets to meet their

objectives and build net worth. But we place an equally strong focus on identifying and

addressing potential liabilities and exposures that can impact your financial health and well-

being.

BIG-PICTURE RISK MANAGEMENT

Our clients have multiple roles as investors, family providers, entrepreneurs, executives and

philanthropists. We provide a comprehensive approach to the wide-ranging and complex

concerns you face. We help you set your goals, protect and grow your assets, and identify

and fund against specific risks to your livelihood and resources, both present and future.


GARY BALDRIDGE



OBJECTIVE ADVICE

Our interests are aligned with yours. Unlike many of the large financial services

companies, we are truly independent in our analysis of solutions for our clients. We

painstakingly analyze insurance products to make sure they can meet their commitments. As

an independent, fee-based asset management advisor, we screen the universe of investment

opportunities for those that most fit our clients’ individual needs.

DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF OUR DISCIPLINE

Our professional team is our chief asset. As tax laws and market conditions constantly change

and evolve, our tested advisors respond with product and strategy innovations that enable you

to keep pace.


GARY BALDRIDGE



ACCESS TO PRODUCTS AND PRICING

We enjoy premier relationships with many of our industry’s most highly regarded product

providers, such as Chubb, Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Russell Investment

Group, Dimensional Fund Advisors, and our partner carriers (New York Life, John

Hancock, ING, Lincoln, Pacific Life, Prudential and others). These relationships give Kibble &

Prentice clients access to unique products and preferred pricing with a wide range of the

nation’s top insurers and investment management firms.

COLLABORATIVE, CLIENT-FOCUSED RELATIONSHIPS

Regionally based, relationship-minded and service-oriented — we’re focused on you. As a

Kibble & Prentice client, you’ll participate fully in the planning and decision-making process.

You’ll control your planning decisions, backed by the advice and support of our team of

dedicated professionals.
