As we step into 2026, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation on behalf of Auchel World Inc. and Grand Prospects Financial & Insurance Services to our valued partners, financial advisors, insurance agents, and all members of our organization who have placed their trust in us over the years. Your professionalism, sense of responsibility, and long-term commitment continue to define who we are, and shape how we protect families and serve their financial futures.
2025 was a year defined by results. Amid market volatility and global uncertainty, client demand for certainty, protection, and long-term planning continued to grow. Compared with 2024, our company achieved solid year-over-year growth, reflecting both the strengthening foundation of our organization and the high level of professionalism demonstrated by our insurance agents and financial advisory teams.
Throughout the year, we successfully handled a significant number of claims, delivering onthe true value of protection at the moments when clients needed it most. More importantly,we did not stop at the claims process itself. By working closely with beneficiary families, we helped reassess and restructure their protection and legacy strategies, ensuring that insurance benefits served as a foundation for long-term financial security rather than short-term relief.
From a company development perspective, 2025 was also a year of continued investment and steady expansion. In addition to ongoing recruitment efforts across our nationwide branch offices, we hosted a national recruiting event in Irvine, and throughout the year welcomed nearly 1,000 financial insurance professionals across the country, significantly expanding our service capacity and professional reach.
In 2025, we successfully completed the relocation and upgrade of our Seattle branch office. At the same time, we established a strategic cooperative relationship for our Greater Washington, D.C. office, further strengthening our East Coast presence.In October 2025, we conducted comprehensive professional training at the headquarters of National Life Group, continuing to enhance our team’s capabilities in product expertise, planning, and compliance.That same year, we also participated in the Chongqing Immigration Industry Summit in China, deepening industry dialogue in cross-border and immigration-related planning, as well as financial and insurance services for new immigrant families.
In 2025, the Grand Auchel Foundation was officially established with a clear and heartfelt mission—to give back to the communities we serve. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting our financial advisors, partners, and affiliated organizations, enabling them to build upon their existing philanthropic efforts and engage in community initiatives in a more sustainable and impactful way.
To recognize outstanding excellence in professionalism, performance, and long-term commitment, Auchel World and Grand Prospects once again set sail in July 2025, successfully completing the European Top Producers Cruise. This rewarding journey was not only a recognition of exceptional achievement, but also a tribute to long-term dedication and professional discipline. In 2026, the company will proudly continue this honored tradition to inspire even higher standards of growth and achievement.
As we enter the Year of the Horse—a symbol of strength, action, and momentum—we move forward with renewed determination. We remain committed to advancing protection planning, elevating professional standards, leveraging technology more intelligently, and pursuing long-term growth guided by purpose.
Happy New Year, and Happy Year of the Horse. May 2026 be a year of steady progress, shared responsibility, and sustainable success.
Sincerely,
Haidi Huang, CLU, ChFC, CLTC
