Taking a look at the top 5 wholesalers for the month of September shows how much things have changed over the last year, but Financial Freedom still holds the #1 spot.  One pleasant surprise is Sun West entering the top 5 for the first time in a while.

Also, Genworth’s wholesale business doesn’t seem to be slowing down, coming in with 771 units endorsed in September.
