In addition, we know the CFGA team appreciates the opportunity to participate in Simplicity’s employee-ownership program, and we are confident that, as this team leverages their new resources, our longtime partner and transaction counterpart, Protective Life, will also benefit from the consistent growth from the CFGA team’s continuing successes.”
