Payout & Compensation

We are committed to providing consistent, competitive compensation. We make infrequent, minor modifications to our payout grid, don’t haircut commissions on insurance and annuity products, and strictly avoid ticket charges designed to influence your decisions. Simply put, we’re dedicated to ensuring you get the full compensation you’ve earned.

Payouts for advisors who affiliate as traditional employees fall between 30% and 50% and typically vary with mix of business and production.
