Can someone help me with this. Do I have to invest or buy insurance
only from the company that my financial planner works for?

Thanks in advance
Kevin

No. And if that's what your financial planner tells you, I'd fire him/
her immediately.

Fire him regartdless. Financial planners are of no value whatsoever. Do
your own planning.

When you buy life insurance, you want coverage that fits your
needs.First, decide how much you need - and for how long - and what
you can afford to pay. Keep in mind the major reason you buy life
insurance is to cover financial effects of unexpected or untimely
death. Life insurance can also be one of many ways to plan for the
future.Next, learn what kinds of policies will meet your needs and
pick the one that best suits you. Then, choose the combination of
policy premium and benefits that emphasizes protection in case of
early death, or benefits in case of long life, or a combination of
both.It makes good sense to ask a life insurance agent or company to
help you. An agent can help you review your insurance needs and give
you information about the available policies. If one kind of policy
doesn't seem to fit your needs, ask about others

I should think one very important point should be added to the list:
Learn about differences in costs of insurance products offered by
different companies. Then shop around, being careful to compare
equivalent products and not apples to oranges. Examine closely the
costs of the indexing feature of annuities in comparison to growth
possibiities of other financial products. Make good use of the
internet. Ask many, many questions and do much research before you buy.
