Your Direct Line to Aspida
My name is Ryan Akers, and I am your dedicated Aspida Life Insurance Company (Aspida) wholesaler. Aspida has enlisted my team to help you build secure retirement portfolios for clients with their principal-protected retirement solutions.
My team and I are here to assist you with:
Retirement strategies, insights, and the latest retirement research to help solve your clients’ income and protection needs.
Conversation starters and engagement tools to help you explain the benefits of adding an annuity to a portfolio.
Appointments, case designs, product questions, servicing, and contracting. We can deliver timely rate updates and application statuses directly to your inbox.
I began my career in financial services with Genworth Financial in 2004, assisting public financial advisors with annuities and retirement planning. Most recently, I worked at Raymond James as an annuity consultant. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, I am a graduate of the University of Virginia and received my MBA from the University of Richmond. I reside in Tampa, Florida, and enjoy traveling, the beach, anything outdoors, and all things UVA Cavaliers.
