What Makes Midwestern Securities Different?

Consultative Approach

We take a consultative approach with all our financial institution partners with the goal of helping them plan for and achieve strategic growth across their institutions. These services include conducting a complete review of their current book for efficiencies, discussing growth goals, developing a plan to increase assets gathered through implementing an institution-wide referral culture, hiring and training additional advisors, and more. This gets our partners thinking 5 to 10 years down the road and mapping out a plan to reach those goals. In turn, this can help them grow faster and keep them from being at risk of a takeover from competing institutions.

Thought Leadership

Our executive team is made up of high-performing producers who understand both sides of the industry and share their many years of client-facing experience with advisors across our network. Our team is constantly keeping up on industry trends while maintaining our time-tested philosophy that has been the bedrock upon which our advisors have helped thousands of clients achieve their personal financial goals. We train all our advisors to operate “The Midwestern Way,” which can help them win more clients and build better client relationships.

Midwestern Values

We believe that good isn’t good enough. We care more, we do more, and we provide more home-office service than the huge publicly traded broker/dealers so our advisors can focus on what matters most to them – helping their clients reach their goals. We are sincere in our actions and value integrity, empathy, and partnership. We believe in treating everyone with respect, no matter their title or position in life. Our advisors believe anyone can benefit from proper financial planning, and our exclusive services assist our advisors in helping a wide range of people and businesses plan for their unique financial goals.
