“After years of sitting across the table from people on the edge of retirement, I learned the question that actually keeps them up at night isn’t “How’s my portfolio doing?” — it’s “Will I run out of money?””

I’m Greg Layton, and I’ve spent most of my career helping people grow and accumulate money.

Most of my clients are now pre-retirees and retirees. Their needs and wants have changed. Most of our discussions now are related to the distribution of their assets. They have many concerns and doubts. Like, “will their IRA’s and 401k survive a market crash this close to retirement?” “Have we really saved enough to retire today?” “Is there a way to mitigate the risk of a market crash?”

When they retire their monthly paycheck disappears. What do people do then? Not to worry, We’ll replace it with a guaranteed lifetime income.

I have also discovered that most people have given very little thought to the non-financial issues that affect retirement.

I’m not planning for a season of life I’ve only studied — I’m living it alongside the people I serve.

Many retirees have problems with a loss of identity, loss of structure, no social interaction, and no real sense of purpose in their lives. I help them to define what their perfect life after retirement will be. I help them retire to something- not from something.

When I’m not meeting with clients you’ll probably find me at the gym. Basketball is my passion in life! I am a Senior Olympic Gold Medalist in 3 on 3 basketball and have also won numerous Huntsman World Games Championships. I thank God every day for all of the opportunities and Blessings he has given me. Especially for giving me my wife, Paty.

How I Work

Three principles I won't compromise on.

01

Income before products

We never start with what to buy. We start with your retirement paycheck — what's guaranteed, what's at risk, and where the gap is. The right solution reveals itself once the need is clear.

02

Radical transparency

I'll show you plainly how I'm paid, what every option costs, and the trade-offs involved — including when the smartest move is to do nothing at all.

03

An honest second opinion

Already own an annuity or have a plan in place? I'll give it a straight review. Sometimes that means confirming you're in good shape. My reputation matters more than any single sale.
