Per Rydstrom has spent more than 25 years in financial services across public and private equity markets and the insurance industry. He founded Charitable Insurance Solutions with a vision to reshape how retirement planning could serve both investors and society.
His mission was built on three core objectives:
- Protect the investing public from excessive stock market risk
- Provide insured, stable retirement income solutions
- Direct up to 75% of CIS commissions to charitable organizations
Traditional financial institutions and brokers simply cannot donate at this level. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, CIS is uniquely positioned to serve both investors and charitable organizations simultaneously.
