Tiburon Research Reports

Tiburon has created a series of research reports to help educate its clients in a low-cost way on a wide variety of topics in the brokerage, investments, private banking, and wealth management markets. Tiburon's research provides the foundation for identifying the CEO Summit's guest speakers, and these reports allow Tiburon clients to learn more about the topics addressed by the five guest speakers, and to anticipate discussion topics in the nine break-out sessions.

Tiburon Life Risks & Insurance Products Research Report

The purpose of this report is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the vast number of insurance products, many used by consumers to protect themselves from various life risks. The report addresses health insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance, property & casualty insurance, annuities, and life insurance. Another Tiburon report also addresses life insurance in the estate planning context.

Tiburon’s first draft of this report was written in 2005; that version focused primary on developing an organized structure for reviewing the insurance industry and establishing profiles of the hundreds of complex insurance companies.

This second draft of this report focused on tightening the storyline, coordinating it with findings from other Tiburon research reports, and adding substantial detail to a handful of appendix company profiles (most notably long-time Tiburon clients AIG, Genworth Financial, and Manulife), as well as some other key players (e.g., Aviva).
