For over 125 years, the Knights of Columbus have helped Catholic families build and protect generational wealth.  Our non-profit financial arm pays the industry’s highest dividend* and gives over $140 million annually to charity.

 

The Knights of Columbus are one of only four insurers earning the highest ratings from Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best, with ethics certified by IMSA.  We are operated by brother Knights, for brother Knights.

Only members and their families may use our services.  Our portfolio includes:

 

  • Life Insurance (links to below)
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • IRAs, Savings & Annuities
  • Financial Planning
  • College Funding
  • Legacy Plans
  • Business Succession Planning

Our financial agent is Michael Gigot.  Mike joined the Marian Council in 2004 and is an active volunteer.

 

Michael holds degrees from the University of Minnesota and University of St. Thomas, plus other certifications.  He taught economics in China and has worked in the financial industry for 15 years.  Mike keeps current on investments, employer benefits, healthcare, trusts and legacy planning.

 

As a brother Knight, Mike cares about our families.  He is glad to provide honest advice and referrals.

 

Life Insurance is something everyone needs. 

Someday, someone must pay for your funeral.  By planning ahead, you will not leave your family with debt or uncertainty.  The younger you start, the more you’ll save.

 

Long-Term Care Insurance is an asset protection strategy.  According to AARP, seniors’ #1 concern is running out of money.  The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 43% of Americans will need to spend time in a nursing home.  The Knights of Columbus can help you pay for your care, leaving money for your loved ones.

 

IRAs, Savings & Annuities offer flexibility and access to cash.  The Knights of Columbus pay a guaranteed interest rate.  Your principal is protected and you will earn money no matter what happens to the market.  We charge no load or commissions.

 

Financial Planning services are available at no charge, using the same software as the big-name firms.  The Knights of Columbus want you to plan for college, retirement and inheritance.  We can help you identify a course and accrue funds to meet your goals.

 

College Funding options are available through the Knights of Columbus.  In addition to scholarships and student loans, we can help you meet the expenses that come with college.  The sooner you start, the easier it will be.  We can show you how to increase your child’s access to financial aid.

 

Legacy Plans can make your children (or grandchildren) rich.  Every family, with a little foresight, can build a significant fund for college, a home, or retirement.  We will help you parlay a few hundred dollars into tens of thousands!

 

Business Succession Planning provides a safety net for families who own a business; e.g. farm, law firm, buildings.  The Knights of Columbus help you create a bookable asset to change ownership in the event of death.
