AOG Associate Owners Group

The people who build the business should own it.

AOG unites insurance agencies, broker-dealers, RIAs and vendors under a single shared equity structure. Built for Associates. Built for the Future.

Watch Why heroes deserve to be owners.

01 The Thesis

The hero is no longer just a producer, but an owner.

Associate Owners Group exists to fundamentally realign the financial services ecosystem. We believe the professional who creates the value should share fully in the value created — not only through their commissions, but through ownership across the entire economic stack.

AOG is building a platform where the “hero” is no longer just a producer, but an owner participating in the front and back end of every transaction.

This is not simply a better compensation model. It is a structural shift in how wealth is created:

  1. FromIncomeToOwnership
  2. FromIndividual productionToShared enterprise value
  3. FromFragmented effortToAligned participation

02 Four Pillars of Ownership

The architecture underneath every partner.

Spanning insurance, wealth management, technology, and products and services — the structural foundation on which the AOG family of companies is built.

PILLAR 01

Insurance

We acquire and operate agencies while preserving the books, the relationships and the culture that built them — and give the producers who wrote the business a stake in what it becomes.

PILLAR 02

Wealth Management

Advisory and retirement practices gain the capital, custody relationships and planning depth of a national platform, while the advisors who earned the trust retain ownership in the enterprise.

PILLAR 03

Technology

A unified stack — CRM, quoting, servicing and data — built once and deployed across every firm in the family, so Associates spend their time selling rather than reconciling systems.

PILLAR 04

Products & Services

Preferential terms with leading carriers and providers, collective bargaining power and regulatory representation that no single agency could secure on its own.

03 The Model

One structure. Everyone inside it holds equity.

At AOG we believe the future of financial services belongs to those who own it. Affiliates and Vendors come together under a shared equity structure — and the upside flows back to the people producing the revenue, not only to the people managing it.

Pillar 01 · Affiliates

Insurance

Independent P&C, life and benefits agencies keeping their books, relationships and culture intact.

Pillar 02 · Affiliates

Wealth Management

Pillar 03 · Platform

Pillar 04 · Vendors
