  • The Leaders Group is the only BD for the BGA! Not only do they make wholesaling VUL easier for us, but they are also interested in helping us grow our business. The Leaders Group is a BD interested in forming a partnership with their BGAs.

  • Leaders Group is truly the one BD that understands the wholesale market which we live in. We are not reps doing variable business, so you don’t hold us to the same standards as all other BDs did. You allow us to do what we do best: sell to the various wirehouse firms.
