Acquisition Synergy Premier Financial acquisition signals strategic expansion and creates a cross sell channel to Premier's advisor network.

Strategic Partnerships Partnerships with LIBRA Insurance Partners extend access to proprietary planning tools and capabilities that can be bundled with Highland products to enhance case design and client outcomes.
