FSI Adds Over 1,100 Securian Financial Services Advisors as Members

In yet another strong show of support for the Financial Services Institute (FSI), Securian Financial Services has announced that its more than 1,100 affiliated independent financial advisors are now new FSI members. The financial advisors’ first-year memberships are offered on a complimentary basis by Securian.

Dale Brown, FSI’s President & CEO, said: “Everything we do is aimed at increasing our advocacy success. Regulators and lawmakers pay attention when our members, their constituents, are engaged in the policy making process. Once again, our collective voice is growing stronger and more influential.”

Securian Financial Services President & CEO George Connolly said: “FSI is a strong advocate for independent financial advisors and independent broker-dealers like Securian Financial Services. We are proud to help the organization expand its reach and influence by offering complimentary first-year FSI memberships to our affiliated financial advisors.”

In addition to advocacy, FSI financial advisor members receive: access to analyses of regulatory and legislative proposals; an Advocacy Action Center and all-in-one mobile app to easily communicate with legislators and regulators and keep up with industry news; opportunities to visit Capitol Hill and educate lawmakers; access to FSI’s Financial Advisor Summit and exclusive FSI publications and communications.

Members also now have access to two tools to help them sell the value of independence to prospective clients in order to grow their businesses. A 60-second video and corresponding infographic can be downloaded for free at financialservices.org/store. Both tools have received review letters from FINRA and are client-ready.
