PEN Associates is composed of consultants who strive to provide their clients with the highest quality financial and insurance services. Many of the accounts held at PEN Associates are taxable, but almost an equal amount are tax-deferred or exempt. PEN Associates oversees the management of 8,000 investment accounts with assets exceeding $150 million, and an additional 1000 clients have investments in variable annuities representing $40 million in assets.

PEN Associates Inc., is also the holding company of Marketing One Inc., an independent insurance agency licensed in 26 states. It is through Marketing One that we specialize in the fixed annuity market to our clients. Marketing One has worked with over 10,000 clients with $300 million invested in fixed annuities.

We specialize in helping individuals establish long-term, multi-generational investment strategies, and implementing those strategies at the lowest cost possible. We operate on a referral basis. These referrals come from professionals, such as attorneys and accountants and, most importantly, from our existing clients. When we do what's right for our clients, they help our business grow.
