Jagruti Panwala Inducted into Signator Investors, Inc. Hall of Fame

Signator Investors, Inc., powered by John Hancock Financial Network, announced it recently inducted Ivyland resident Jagruti Panwala of Wealth Protection Strategies, LLC, an affiliate of Keystone Financial Management, into its Hall of Fame.

Since Signator’s Hall of Fame’s inception in 1956, fewer than 250 financial representatives have joined the elite group. The main criterion for being tapped to enter the Hall of Fame is earning the company’s ACE (Achieving Client Excellence) award at least 15 times.

Each year, only a select number of representatives receive the ACE award, which highlights client excellence, personal ethics and integrity, and the ability to solve clients’ financial needs. Ms. Panwala received the ACE award for the 15th time in 2013.

“To be inducted into Signator’s Hall of Fame, financial representatives must have proven their commitment to providing exceptional client service throughout their careers,” explained Brian Heapps, CLU®, ChFC®, president. “We look to our ‘Hall of Famers’ to be role models in our business based on a foundation of integrity and service. It’s a great pleasure to welcome Jagruti as one of our newest inductees.”

Ms. Panwala was born in Surat, India. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1988. She was offered an academic scholarship to attend East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania and graduated with honors and degrees in finance and economics.

Her committed attitude and hard work was immediately extended to a professional career in hospitality and finance. Since 1998, she has operated a successful financial services practice. She is owner and president of Bensalem-based Wealth Protection Strategies, a company with a focus on asset protection and wealth transfer, buy-sell/key person and business succession, and life insurance solutions. She directs an advanced team of professionals to help her clients create their legacy. As an owner of multiple hotels, Ms. Panwala has spent many years in various positions from administrator to owner operator. She is also an active AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association) participant since 2010. AAHOA is THE voice of owners in the hospitality industry. In 2011, she was elected to serve as the organization’s Female Director at Large, Eastern Region and in 2014 she was re-elected for the same position. Her experience has given her unique opportunities to learn the needs of others in the hospitality industry.

She is a lifetime member of the prestigious industry organization for sales leaders, the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT). As a perennial Platinum level ACE qualifier for Signator’s network, she’s consistently placed herself in the top twenty percent. She has received numerous awards at Keystone Financial Management, with whom she is affiliated locally for her outstanding client service. She is a current member of NAIFA (National Association of Insurance Financial Advisors).

Ms. Panwala’s interests and passion go beyond her career and her business success. She is an active volunteer for Surati Modh Vanik Samaj of U.S.A., an Indian-American organization that focuses on future generations and their role in their community while teaching them about their heritage, language, and culture. She has devoted her life to her community both in the United States and in India. She is also a committed member of the Hindu Temple Society of Atlantic City.

Ms. Panwala currently resides in Ivyland with her husband and two children. She is fluent in English, Gujarati and Hindi.
