Expanding RILA distribution through a smarter, connected network.
On many platforms today, retail advisors interested in registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) find themselves connected to carrier-employed wholesalers who often have just one primary product in their sales arsenal. MSG Financial Distributors was created to deliver a uniquely inter-connected and more efficient approach.
We facilitate advisor access to consumer-first, solution-oriented wholesalers who have access to multiple RILA products across multiple carriers and are focused on helping the advisor meet the client's needs by identifying the best solution. This approach matters for carriers who want their products evaluated on merit and for broker-dealers who want a more robust, client-centric platform.
Ultimately, we're building and combining the infrastructure, technology, compliance frameworks and connections that make it easy for carriers, wholesale broker-dealers, and retail broker-dealers to work together and grow together.
