Better Together: Integration in Action

February 16, 2023

On Dec. 1, 2022, The Standard completed its purchase of Securian Financial’s retirement plan recordkeeping business. The Standard extended employment offers to every Securian retirement employee. Among those offered employment, 99% chose to become employees of The Standard on Jan. 1.

The combined sales team from across the country met to collaborate, share best practices and discuss the broader product offering we will bring to the marketplace this year. A commitment to superior service — for advisors, third-party administrators and clients — was just one of our common threads.

A few snapshots from our sessions are below.
