Prospective Agents: Ownership

Your long-term success in this business is based, in large part, on the strength and stability of the company (or companies) you represent.

Both Midland National and Sammons Securities Company, LLC, are members of the Sammons Financial Group. The Sammons Financial Group is a group of privately owned insurance companies that bring value and stability to you and your customers through unique ownership, distinguished membership, and financial strength.


Unique Ownership

Unlike most financial companies, the Sammons Financial Group is not publicity traded. Its parent companies - Sammons Enterprises, Inc. of Dallas, Texas - owns a variety of diversified businesses in addition to financial companies and is one of the nation's largest privately held companies.* In addition, employees of the Sammons Financial Group are shareholders in the group's parent company through an employee stock ownership plan available to eligible employees. This ownership translates into two main benefits for you and your clients: 

  1. Better Service: Whenever you talk to someone at the Sammons Financial Group, you will most likely be talking to an employee-shareholder. As shareholders, our employees have a stake in the company's success, and they take your business seriously.
  2. Stability: Because of its unique ownership, the Sammons Financial Group is not as susceptible to market fluctuations as are publicly traded companies.

Strength

The Sammons Financial Group is a strong organization that has grown significantly over the past several years:

  • In 1995, the Sammons Financial Group had $76 million of earnings and just under $3 billion in assets. In 2002, only seven years later, the group finished with $172 million in earnings and nearly $15 billion in assets.
  • In 1995, the Group's life insurance was in force was at $62 billion. In 2002, the Group's life insurance in force grew to over $211 billion representing nearly 1.2 million policyholders.

The Sammons Financial Group is not the biggest, but it is stable and strong, and it is one of the only financial groups in the process of becoming fully employee-owned. We call it "Big Enough to Play, Yet Small Enough to Care." The members of the Sammons Financial Group are big enough to be competitive at all levels, yet small enough to care about you and your clients. That's a key part of Life at its Best®
