Stronger Together: Finseca, ACLI, and What Comes Next

ACLI is one of Finseca’s most important partners, and our strength comes from working together.

In this week’s edition of The Monday Brief, Marc Cadin, CEO of Finseca, shares insights from a recent working session with industry leaders, including David Chavern, President and CEO of ACLI; Terry Rasmussen, CEO and Chair of Thrivent and Chair of the ACLI Board; and Finseca Chair Chip Van Dusen. Their conversation following a joint executive committee meeting was candid, focused, and productive.

Marc emphasizes that distribution and carriers are not separate — all of us represent one noble profession. When the industry stays aligned, we get results.

In 2025, that alignment delivered a landmark success: together with ACLI, the profession helped secure the most successful tax bill in its history. This achievement was not accidental; it was the direct result of partnership, shared purpose, and showing up together.

This discussion highlights why collaboration, honesty, and strategic alignment across the profession are more critical than ever, and how Finseca and ACLI continue to drive meaningful impact for the industry.
