Annie I think the best way to invest is to avoid these guys and buy a target date retirement fund from Vanguard.

Studies find that over time, low-cost index funds beat the vast majority of actively managed investments.

Studies find that people doing their own investing do FAR better than people using 'professionals' to nmanage their money:

This guy says: "You can't deny that having private money managers servicing your separate account is superior to casting your lot in with the masses and being viewed as a commodity."

This is a false alternative. And, he offers no definition of 'superior'. If it's superior returns, does he guarantee that in writing? I know he does not.

These guys are salesmen.
