History of MBL Advisors
Originally incorporated in 1985, the firm began as a boutique regional insurance advisory firm, focused
on providing sophisticated insurance solutions to its high net worth clients. The firm expanded its
service offerings shortly thereafter to include specialized design, implementation and administration of
executive benefit programs for our corporate clientele.
The firm joined the
M Financial Group in 1987 . This
Strategic Partnership allows us to not only access the best products and services for the unique needs of the
high net worth client, it allows us a voice – your voice – in the design and development of future products
and services . The firm enjoyed a period of steady growth through the 1990s culminating in the sale of the
business to Wachovia Bank, NA in 1999.
In 2009, the name of the firm was changed to MBL Advisors when the firm was acquired from Wachovia/Wells
Fargo after almost a decade of ownership by the bank. In its current ownership structure, we have the
greatest flexibility to work with our clients in designing and creating customized solutions to unique
client needs.
