ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Our firm is a second generation family business that has been active in the life insurance market for more than four decades.  At David Capital Partners we focus on two key areas of life insurance planning: Bank Owned Life Insurance and Premium Financing.

An effective Bank Owned Life Insurance program is designed to increase the bank’s earnings, increase shareholder value, reduce taxable income and offset employee expenses.  There is currently $226 billion of BOLI in the marketplace across the US.  BOLI provides community banks with a stable asset that allows them to focus on the continued growth, provide stable earnings and retain key executives in their respective communities.

Our second area of focus is Premium Finance Life Insurance.  This concept involves borrowing funds to pay all or some of the premiums for a life insurance policy.  A well designed plan allows the client to retain working capital while continuing to grow and develop assets.  Family and closely-held companies are the drivers of our economy and we are proud to play a role in that sustainability.

Our commitment to bring meaningful strategies to the families and businesses of Oklahoma and our surrounding region is stronger than ever.

WORDS FROM OUR CEO

Uncertainty has become a recurring theme in our recent quarters. As we navigate the unknown and anticipate inevitable changes, questions arise: When will these shifts occur? Are we truly prepared? It’s easy to become consumed by these uncertainties.

However, our approach is to embrace them. We are dedicated to building our business to thrive no matter what comes our way. We focus on efficiency and maintaining control over what we can influence. Our commitment to delivering results remains steadfast, regardless of external circumstances.

A friend of mine recently made a remark that struck a chord: “After all was said and done, much more was said than done.”

In today’s world, execution is a rare and valuable commodity. That is our rallying cry moving forward, and we are fully committed to delivering for our clients.

OUR STORY

David Capital Partners, Inc. is a life insurance and financial services agency working with clients and community banks to create, protect, and distribute wealth. We protect our clients from the financial hazards of living too long, dying too soon, or becoming disabled.

The David Capital Group, Ltd. was founded in 1991. The original purpose was to establish a life insurance and financial services agency to supplement the general agency operations of its founder, James R. David, who had operated primarily as a sole proprietor since 1973. 

In 1979, David Capital began working with community banks and completed its first Bank Owned Life Insurance Program. In working with our key carrier relationships, BOLI has become one of our firm’s primary areas of focus. We have continued to build a number of BOLI programs with several banks throughout the Midwest. Using our proprietary software and a commitment to access the latest banking data available, our firm has been able to provide stable earnings and shareholder value for more than 40 years.

In early 1999 the agency’s insurance license and corporate charter were amended to reflect its new name. The sole proprietorship transferred operations and contracts into The David Capital Group, Ltd.

Currently, David Capital Partners, Inc. continues to utilize key relationships with several major insurance carriers and financial marketing organizations. 

Overall, our agency can be characterized as a market driven independent agency in the advanced underwriting markets. David Capital Partners, Inc. enjoys an established track record of excellence with our clients and producers. Their expressions of satisfaction and encouragement are numerous, and we intend to continue our advances and growth in the marketplace with more unique and effective products.

SOLUTIONS

It takes dedication and perseverance to build generational wealth. If you are like most entrepreneurs, you’ve worked hard and made many sacrifices to grow your business or estate. It’s important to put as much meaningful energy into protecting your legacy as you did building it.  

Proper planning can help you protect your estate, ensure the continuation of your business and help ensure a succession in the manner of your choosing.  Our firm provides experience and focus to do just that.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

ASSET PROTECTION

BOLI policies can provide a source of liquidity in the event of an unexpected loss of key employees.

TAX BENEFITS

BOLI policies offer tax advantages that are not available with traditional investments. The death benefit proceeds of BOLI policies are generally tax-free to the bank, and the cash value of the policies grows tax deferred.

DIVERSIFICATION/STABLE RETURNS

BOLI can provide diversification to the investment portfolio, as it is a separate asset class not directly correlated with traditional investments, such as securities and bonds. BOLI’s tax deferred earnings provide a hedge against interest rate risk.

RETAINING/RECRUITING

BOLI policies can help the bank offset the costs of employee benefits and executive compensation. BOLI has the ability to provide supplemental retirement plans for key executives as a way to recruit and retain.

PREMIUM FINANCE

Purchase your life insurance policy by paying only interest to the lender if you have sufficient collateral.

Obtain a significant amount of life insurance with limited upfront out-of-pocket costs.

Preserve, maintain and continue to build assets instead of using those assets to fund a life insurance policy.

Spread payments over an established period-of-time for better control of cash flow.

Leverage assets and free up capital for other business-critical needs.

Leverage your annual gift-tax exclusions or lifetime exemption to transfer other assets estate-tax-free.

LIFE INSURANCE

TERM LIFE INSURANCE

Provides coverage for a specified period, offering financial protection to beneficiaries if the insured individual passes away during the policy term.

WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE

A type of permanent life insurance that provides lifelong coverage with a cash value component, serving as both protection and an investment vehicle.

PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE

A long-term financial tool that offers lifetime coverage along with a cash value component, providing both protection and the potential for financial growth.

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE

Flexible and adjustable form of permanent life insurance that allows policyholders to vary their premium payments and death benefits, offering potential cash value growth and lifetime coverage.

DISABILITY INSURANCE

Financial safety net that provides income replacement in the event of a disabling injury or illness, ensuring you can meet your financial obligations even when you are unable to work.
