ASH Brokerage Acquires Delta Financial Associates

Fort Wayne, IN – Ash Brokerage Corporation announced today the acquisition of Delta Financial Associates, Inc. Delta Financial is one of the nation’s largest independent distributors of long term care and linked benefit insurance. Ash Brokerage is a national leader and premier outsourcing partner to financial professionals for life insurance, annuities, long term care, disability income, advanced markets and underwriting. This acquisition allows Ash to enhance service offerings and signals a commitment to continue national expansion of the Ash Brokerage footprint.

“Delta Financial complements the Ash business model and we look forward to the addition of their talented team led by Peter Cross,” said Mike Hefferon, Co-President of Ash Brokerage. “It is our purpose to support the advisor on all levels and Delta matches the Ash culture by providing the best in full service resources.”

As part of Ash Brokerage, Delta’s support services will expand the long term care and linked benefit product support available to advisors throughout the country. Delta further enhances Ash’s existing comprehensive platform for financial professionals by providing point-of-sale support, a valuable service which involves directly addressing consumer needs and questions.

Once the application is signed, Delta secures all underwriting requirements and serves as the consumer’s advocate with insurance company underwriters.
