She has been a terrific partner to me and a tireless advocate for the independent financial professionals we're privileged to serve. We admire her passion for empowering greater diversity across the industry and her many contributions to the growth of Securities America over the years, including her contributions following our merger with Advisor Group as part of its acquisition of Ladenburg Thalmann. We wish Janine all the best in her well-earned retirement."

Ms. Wertheim said, "I am proud to have helped build one of the largest and most visible firms in the independent wealth management industry. It has been my privilege to take this incredible professional journey in partnership with the amazing people at our home office and the thousands of independent financial professionals who count on us to support their business success and drive an exceptional service experience for their clients. I'd like to say thank you to my colleagues at Securities America and Advisor Group, as well as our financial professionals across the country. Going forward, I have every confidence that Advisor Group, Securities America and the rest of the network firms are well positioned for continued growth and industry leadership."

Jamie Price, President and Chief Executive Officer of Advisor Group, said, "We thank Janine for her decades of service to Securities America and her hard work in helping to build Securities America into the exceptional firm it is today. Notably, she helped found one of the first dual-registered RIAs in the independent wealth management industry and has performed almost every role at our broker-dealer and at Securities America Advisors. Janine will leave a long legacy, and we appreciate everything that she has accomplished for the broader network of Advisor Group firms, as well as for the entire wealth management industry through her efforts to support female executives and financial professionals.
