World Financial Group
34°03′27″N 84°10′09″W / 34.057605°N 84.169202°W
World Financial Group (WFG) is a multi-level marketing financial and insurance services company based in Johns Creek, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, which sells investment, insurance, and various other financial products through a network of distributors in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It is wholly owned by Dutch life insurance multinational Aegon and operates primarily under the Transamerica brand in the United States.
World Financial Group associates are compensated by selling financial services products and receiving commission overrides from people that agents sponsor into the company.
World Marketing Alliance (WMA) was founded by Hubert Humphrey when he left Primerica in 1991. The original name was Alexander, Inc. but shortly thereafter was renamed World Marketing Alliance. The original idea was that the baby boomers needed a solution for wealth creation and tax protection, and that the "buy term and invest the difference" philosophy of Primerica (formerly A.L. Williams & Associates) could be better addressed with variable universal life insurance.
While in A.L. Williams & Associates, Humphrey created and introduced the Business Format System (BFS), a business sales and recruiting methodology. Humphrey continued to develop the methodology in WMA. MD TV, the company's private satellite television network, was also introduced during this period. The company expanded its operations to Canada, Taiwan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The company held its first convention in Las Vegas in 1992. It was attended by about 2,000 associates.
On March 23, 1998, WMA Executive World Headquarters opened in Duluth, Georgia. The 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) building housed 500+ employees.
By 1999, WMA sold a total of $200 million worth of variable life premiums a total of $400 million in mutual fund sales. By May 2000, WMA had a total of "63,000 people pushing mortgages and credit cards" and "10,700 licensed [representatives] who can sell mutual funds" through its subsidiary company WMA Securities: where the company's team of brokers work and are accounted for.
In June 2001, select assets of WMA were purchased by Aegon and renamed World Financial Group, Inc. Humphrey retained WMA Mortgage Services, Inc. and the original logo, which was used in his subsequent companies World Leadership Group (WLG) and Hegemon Group International (HGI). As part of the conditions of sale, Humphrey was placed on a noncompete agreement and could not compete in the insurance industry until 2013. Following the sale of WMA to Aegon, Alexander Wynaendts, chief executive of Aegon, was quoted as saying, "When we took the company over, we put in place very strict regulatory and compliance procedures".
