New CFS Survey Reveals Disparities & Issues of Fairness in Insurance Licensing Exams

Mission Statement for the
Coalition for Financial Security

The Coalition for Financial Security's mission is to educate policymakers, financial providers, and the public about the lack of financial security among millions of hard-working Americans, and help determine and advocate for effective solutions. There is a very serious gap between Americans who have the knowledge and resources needed to enjoy the benefits of life insurance, mutual funds, and banking products and those who may have savings but are unable to utilize the financial tools that will help them invest for the future and improve their lives.

Our goal is to explore effective solutions that will bridge this gap so that more hard-working Americans will learn about and secure the financial tools that have become an important part of achieving the American dream. By examining why many Americans may be unaware of the need for such tools, and why others choose not to utilize them, we hope to find answers that will help more Americans get ahead.
