Ladenburg News

Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services has announced several new programs, including a Super Women’s Summit and NxG Connect Study Group for next-gen financial advisors.

The firm shared the plans at its recent national conference for advisors with independent broker-dealers Securities America and KMS Financial Services. It will host a national  event for advisors with Triad Advisors, Securities Service Network (SSN) and Investacorp in August.

The Super Women’s Summit, a women advisors’ business workshop started by Securities America, has been rolled out across Ladenburg.

Close to 200 female advisors attended a recent summit and a second one will be held as part of Ladenburg’s August national event.

“ Ladenburg’s new enterprise-wide Super Women’s Summit is a terrific platform that will help our women advisors feel even more deeply that they are part of a larger family that exists to support their business growth,” according to Erinn Ford, president & CEO of KMS.

Ladenburg’s newly formed NxG Connect Study Group is a nationwide study group for advisors across the company under age 40.

Developed by Securities America over the past five years, this year’s NxG Study Group included nearly 60 financial advisors. A second event will take place at Ladenburg’s August event. Plus,  Ladenburg may introduce a digitally based program.

“Our first-ever enterprise-wide NxG Connect session marks the commencement of a new stage of concerted efforts from Ladenburg’s family of firms to attract next-generation advisors, show them that they are not alone, and accelerate their career development,” said Jim Nagengast, CEO & president of Securities America, in a statement.
