SUSTAINABLE GROWTH MADE POSSIBLE BY AN AGILE A-TEAM MEMBERSHIP
Being privately-held and boutique in nature requires a nimble and long-term strategy for sustainable growth. This makes us highly selective about the quality and number of firms we invite to join as Members. By design, we maintain a membership of 115 independently-owned Member Firms throughout the U.S. Our exclusive membership provides a breeding ground for success as we partner with our Members to build turnkey processes designed to streamline their businesses and make them more efficient, scalable and prosperous.

THE ENGINE THAT PROPELS THE VALMARK COMPANIES
Comprehensive Support From Top Industry Professionals
Our commitment to excellence results in a culture oriented to helping Member Firms reach their potential and capitalize on changes in the marketplace. With impeccable follow-through, we provide this assistance through concierge-level service provided by a distinguished professional services team of 100+ individuals, one of the highest staff-to-producer ratios in the industry.
With credentials spanning multiple financial disciplines—from legal, accounting, tax and financial advisory expertise to life insurance, retirement planning and securities—the Valmark team serves as a back office support staff for Member Offices, enabling them to offer their clients a comprehensive array of services provided by some of the brightest minds in our business.
A Personal Relationship Means “You First”
The relationship your firm enjoys as a Valmark Member is tailored to YOUR strengths, YOUR goals, and YOUR business. Our flexibility is how you know we respect your expertise.
While many broker dealers may offer a wide range of products and services, their idea of “value added” often means giving you a list of “800 numbers”. At Valmark, you receive a dedicated team of internal professionals who provide integrated support for both your insurance and investment business through a central source. With one phone call, your internal team can coordinate all aspects of your case or inquiry – including technical and marketing support, case design, provider questions, software and online support, underwriting, compliance, client service and more.
HIGH TOUCH MEANS HIGH RETENTION
What is also indicative of the high value we place on our relationships with our Members is our turnover rate of only 1%, which is one tenth of that experienced by other independent broker-dealers.
Today, our average Member Firm generates approximately five times the total revenue that they did two decades ago. This is a strong testament to the sound and collaborative relationships we have built with our Firms, the continued alignment we have with our Members and their clients, and our steadfast commitment to staying flexible and ahead of changes taking place in our industry.
