“The person who I just put through the Caribou system is actually a prospect and has struggled with our fee proposition (1%). Having Caribou may finally be the offering that allows him to be more comfortable with the fee.”

“My new client found Caribou to be one of the greatest value-adds in becoming a Bailard client so far, as it helped him easily navigate the most worrisome problem on his mind: healthcare coverage for himself, wife and teenage child given his recent early retirement. Caribou made the process transparent and easy to compare options, they even had a few good laughs with their healthcare consultant along the way!”
Stacy Pearl Dauber, CFP®
Vice President, Investment Counselor at Bailard, Inc.

Summarizes clients' current coverage and expenses, as well as snapshots for future events (e.g., “What does Medicare look like for this client in TX on this drug?“) to create a more comprehensive financial plan.
Does not sell health insurance or make commissions.
