UBA Celebrates Its 15th Anniversary

Fifteen years ago, a group of fellow employee benefits professionals met at the Society of Financial Service Professionals Success Forum in Las Vegas to discuss the future of their business, the challenges to retain their independence, and ways to level the playing field with the global “ABC” houses and aggregators by forming a national employee benefits producer group.

Led by co-founders and visionaries David LoCascio and Chris John, this group saw unlimited potential and power in sharing their collective expertise and knowledge to form a partnership called United Benefit Advisors. They firmly believed that the collective wisdom, expertise, experience and unique strengths which resides within the top independent benefits firms had the potential to not only meet these challenges, but to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity they represent.

Since being founded in 2002 with only 15 Partner Firms, UBA has grown significantly from its humble beginnings. In just 15 years of dedicated service to the benefits industry, and with its long-standing recognition of being one of the nation's top 10 employee benefits organizations, UBA is proud to be one of the country's largest privately-held employee benefits brokerage groups.

• UBA is the nation's sixth largest employee benefits broker, with combined annual employee benefits revenues of more than $484 million.
• UBA has more than 130 Partner Firms representing 200 offices throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
• UBA empowers more than 2,000 Partners to both maintain their individuality and pool their expertise, insight, and market presence to provide best-in-class services and solutions.
• UBA's annual Health Plan Survey is larger than all the leading surveys produced by Kaiser, Mercer, Gallagher, Willis Towers Watson, and Aon — combined!
• UBA Partners serve two and a half million employees and insure more than five million total lives.
