HOW DO YOU HANDLE FIXED INSURANCE BUSINESS?AFP partners with MVP Financial as our primary insurance resource, and we recommend them highly.

Additional services are typically considered optional with advisors free to purchase only what they need. We do require all advisors purchase errors and omissions insurance via AFP.

WHAT ARE YOUR PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS?Typically, AFP prefers that affiliated representatives produce at least $100,000 in Gross Dealer Concessions annually. However, we are flexible with the right partners and are not inclined to react to short-term fluctuations in production. Our relationships are worth more to us than what you produced last quarter.

WHO OWNS AFP?AFP advisors and employees own 100% of the firm with no single shareholder owning more than a 23% interest in the firm. This means that no individual can unilaterally determine the direction, control, or ownership of the organization.
