Who operates this Site

The Site is operated by Peter Guggisberg, a Financial Services Representative of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) through the Vermont Financial Group of New York. Noah’s Ark Financial is the personal brand under which Peter publishes content + meets with families. Noah’s Ark Financial is not a separate licensed insurance agency, broker-dealer, or registered investment adviser.

Insurance products are offered through MassMutual and other carriers licensed in the states where Peter is appointed. Securities, investment advisory, and financial planning services, where applicable, are offered through MassMutual or its affiliated entities and are subject to those entities’ supervision and disclosures.

No insurance contract, no investment advice

The content on the Site is for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on the Site:

  • Constitutes an insurance contract or binder.
  • Guarantees the availability of any insurance product at any rate.
  • Constitutes individualized investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice.
  • Should be relied upon as a recommendation to buy or sell any specific product.

Insurance applications are subject to underwriting approval by the carrier. Rates, terms, and availability are subject to change. Individualized recommendations are only provided under a documented engagement, after a full review of your specific circumstances.

While reasonable efforts are made to keep Site content accurate + current, no warranty of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness is provided.

The Site may link to third-party websites or reference third-party products and services. Those links + references are provided for convenience. The Advisor does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for third-party content, accuracy, or practices. Your use of any linked third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms.

Brand storyworld disclosure

Noah’s Ark Financial includes a brand storyworld featuring illustrated characters (Noah, the Buckley deer family, the Sorrell fox family, the Harlow bear family, and others). These characters are AI-generated brand elements. They do not represent real clients, real plans, or real outcomes. Any resemblance to a living person is coincidental. The financial planning work the Advisor does is real; the characters illustrating it are not.
