Laredoan Delhia Judith Baber of the Farmers Insurance Group has become part of an elite group of Farmers' professionals now licensed to offer their customers investment products, in addition to the current traditional insurance products they already provide.
"For a year and a half my customers have trusted me to protect their most valuable assets," said Baber. "By expanding my services to include investment products, I can better assist my customers in pursuing their goals for financial security."
Baber has passed the required securities license exams in addition to completing a specialized training program sponsored by Farmers Financial Solutions, LLC, the broker-dealer affiliate.
"There's so much information out there, but no one to help you make sense of it all," Baber said. "That's why I have devoted so much time to gaining expertise in this area -- so I can help my customers achieve their financial goals."
Baber offers a variety of investment products and services including several mutual funds, variable annuities, and variable universal life insurance.
