The 2023 Strategic Partner Program (SPP) is now live! We continue to focus on delivering the highest level of service excellence to top-tier advisors. We do this through:

  • ease and accessibility to an exclusive benefit suite and
  • an individualized team of dedicated contacts assigned to work directly with SPP advisors.

The 2023 program year runs from March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024.

The SPP is an exclusive program

It’s designed to propel advisors forward with educational opportunities, dedicated resources, priority services and development tools.

We’re always working to make this program one of the best in the industry. For 2023, we've continued to leverage firsthand feedback to enhance our benefits and offer top-tier advisors a new level of service excellence.
