Founded in 1995 by Chairman and CEO Robert K. Strauss, J.D., Emerging Money ® is an innovative financial services firm that delivers cutting-edge wealth management solutions to the insurance and investment industries. In 1998, Emerging Money received national recognition for its Family Discount Life ® insurance program, winning the prestigious Trusts & Estates Magazine EPIC Award for “innovation, vision and effort.” Later that same year, Emerging Money launched its revolutionary Stock to Cash ® program, allowing investors to receive 90% liquidity from their stock portfolios to fund life insurance and meet other financial planning objectives, while at the same time protecting their shares against potential market loss.

Over the past seven years, Stock to Cash has grown to become one of the industry's leading premium funding programs. Over 3,000 life insurance wholesalers and producers, carriers, accountants and lawyers have registered for Stock to Cash. Stock to Cash has already been featured in a number of trade magazines including National Underwriter, Real Estate Magazine, Performance Magazine, Institutional Investor, Trusts & Estates Magazine and Senior Awareness. General Alexander Haig, Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan, aired a segment about Emerging Money and the Stock to Cash program on General Haig's nationally broadcast televised series World Business Review. In January of 2006, Mr. Strauss will speak on the subject of Stock to Cash to leaders of the financial services industry at the prestigious International Forum event in Boca Raton , Florida .

Through its actuarial division, Emerging Actuarial Designs, LLC, Emerging Money has also created several unique insurance and annuity products for major top-rated insurance companies, including one life insurance product that sold over $60 million of target premium in its first two years. Through its administrative division, Emerging Administrative Services, LLC, Emerging Money acts as a third-party administrator for other financial institutions. For example, Emerging Money processes all loan transactions in an exclusive arrangement with Alexander Capital Markets, LLC on all Stock to Cash transactions.

Most importantly Emerging Money provides high-end service and support to its registered insurance agents and professional advisors, making its unique and proprietary programs and products accessible to all. These services include education, marketing and business development support, case design and analysis, and implementation assistance.
