The Diamond Group, a retirement consulting business, is proud to announce the
grand opening of the company's new office in Forest Lake, MN. Alan Schmidt,
the founder of The Diamond Group, is a highly sought after retirement
consultant. After much success in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, and
Arizona he has chosen to come home to raise his family in Forest Lake. The
residents of Washington County and the surrounding areas should be eager for
the new opportunity to work with his firm.

Alan Schmidt explains, "We are there to make sure people, either still working
or already in retirement, can enjoy their retirement, rather than finding
themselves with insufficient income to support their desired lifestyle. I
invite everybody to come visit us to see what we can do for them or just to
say hello."

The Diamond Group offers a few very specific services, the first of which is
their popular Individual Pension by Design. Schmidt believes that as every
person is a unique individual, his or her pension should be unique and
individualized as well, based on specific desires for retirement. He aims to
help people "live happily ever after" - at least financially.

Another popular program is the CD Repair Shop. Schmidt encourages people to
explore a MYGA as an option versus a CD for the fixed rate portion of their
portfolios. "Bankers would like you to believe that CDs have a lower yield
because they claim money held by banks is safer, which is a common
misconception." Schmidt also said "MYGA rates are higher because of how the
yield is determined. MYGA rates are determined by investment yields, such as
high-quality bonds that are continually adjusted for market conditions.
Therefore, MYGAs tend to be much more stable with a higher rate of return as
compared with a CD for the same time period." People are encouraged to visit
their website for current comparisons, that are updated weekly.
