What is Five Rings Financial?

Five Rings Financial is a financial services MLM that sells life insurance (indexed universal life, whole life, term) and financial products through independent agents. The company is based in Colorado and operates similarly to Primerica — agents earn commissions on insurance sales plus overrides on recruits. Heavy emphasis on recruiting over retail sales, with a business model that requires licensing. Not BBB accredited. Glassdoor reviews are mixed — some rate it highly while others describe it as an MLM scam where income depends primarily on recruitment.
