Why we started this firm

Our foundation rests on a core philosophy: true actuarial excellence is achieved through collaboration, not transaction. When we established the Columbia Point brand, we did so because it represents a spirit of shared journey and alignment. We didn’t start this firm to simply work for clients; we started it to work with them. We view ourselves as an extension of your internal team, sitting on the same side of the table to navigate complex financial landscapes together.

We also saw a critical gap in the industry for highly specialized, deeply technical actuarial expertise. While many firms offer generalized consulting, we deliberately built our reputation on mastering the market’s most complex, volatile sectors. We bring superior technical rigor and predictive modeling capabilities that exceed standard industry benchmarks, allowing us to deliver sophisticated solutions that generalist competitors simply cannot replicate.

Specifically, we are recognized experts in Long-Term Care (LTC), Disability Income (DI), and other complex niche markets. These specialized product lines require a rare blend of historical perspective, deep data insight, and forward-looking precision. By focusing intensely on these intricate spaces, we provide our clients with the nuanced, high-level guidance necessary to manage risk with absolute confidence.

Most importantly, we recognized an urgent, unmet need for entirely objective, conflict-free counsel. In an era of corporate consolidation, many consulting firms are beholden to external shareholders, private equity, or rigid corporate stakeholders. We intentionally designed a different model. Our firm is fully independent, meaning our only allegiance is to you. Our size and agility allow us to remain nimble, adapt quickly to your needs, and deliver unbiased advice tailored solely to your long-term success.
