Heidi MacDonald, Executive Vice President, Distribution and Operations

Financial Horizons Group

An industry first with carriers and MGAs working together to build a common platform. The result will be an online contracting and compliance solution to simplify processes and allow us all to concentrate on our advisors and the business as a whole. We are very proud to be part of this exciting project!

Les Herr, President & CEO

Stantive Technologies Group Inc.

As a 32-year veteran of the insurance business I would say the most important asset our industry has is our reputation. And our reputation relies on the quality and suitability of the financial advice customers receive from their financial advisor. This initiative from APEXA, supported by financial services companies and MGAs, gives a third-party assessment of an advisor's contracting and conduct information in one central online location. This is a very valuable tool and in my view, will only help strengthen our industry, and ultimately grow consumer confidence.

This has been a great project and in my 41 years we have not seen this type of collaboration across the industry.
