Lincoln Financial Group Names Industry Veteran as Distribution Head
Andrew Bucklee to Lead MoneyGuard® Solutions Distribution
PHILADELPHIA, June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lincoln Financial Distributors (LFD), the wholesale distribution subsidiary of Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC), has named Andrew Bucklee as head of distribution for MoneyGuard® Reserve, an innovative long-term care solution pioneered by Lincoln Financial Group.
Bucklee will have strategic and operating responsibility for the distribution of all current and future MoneyGuard-branded solutions and report to Will Fuller, president and chief executive officer of LFD.
"There is no better time to help Americans address the challenges they face in preparing for the inevitability of health care and long-term care costs," said Fuller. "The greatest risk to retirement income may not only be market downturns but rather the possibility of a long-term care need."
Lincoln's MoneyGuard® Reserve product can help protect income against long-term care expenses by providing reimbursements for qualified costs and allowing clients to keep control of assets.
Bucklee came to Lincoln Financial with more than 18 years of sales leadership experience. Prior to joining Lincoln, he served as national sales director of the Merrill Lynch Insurance Group, leading the offering of a wide range of insurance solutions to more than 17,000 financial advisors.
"Lincoln Financial has been the market leader in this space for more than 20 years," said Fuller. "Andy's successful track record of driving life insurance sales among financial advisors, combined with our strong and experienced MoneyGuard® sales team, will be invaluable to driving growth for this important business segment."
In addition to the market-leading MoneyGuard® Reserve, Lincoln has filed to introduce a hybrid annuity solution later this year.
