Fobes Financial Group

It is the mission of the Fobes Financial Group Directors of Selection to identify and select people who have ambition, can work independently, and take ownership over their lives.

The Fobes Financial Group fosters a readily apparent “can-do” spirit. According to Managing Partner John Fobes, “Our management team is passionate about recruiting and developing individuals who can thrive long-term as Financial Representatives.”

Our group is especially proud of our Mutual Fit process. We know that making the decision to become a Financial Representative is a big one; we also know that this career is not for everyone. Our process is designed to identify an individual’s strengths.

Financial Representatives engage in extensive training led by an accomplished management team and the office's top producers. The process includes a mentor relationship with an experienced, successful Financial Representative who shares your background (intern conversion, career changer, experienced representative). Fobes Financial Group’s Financial Representatives continue learning their entire career through weekly roundtable peer discussions, one-on-one consultations with management team members, seminars with company and industry leaders, and universities offered through the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Since 1967, the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network Internship has given more than 17,000 students, representing over 500 campuses, an unmatched opportunity to learn more about themselves, the world of business and the financial services industry.

“I learned more about myself and business than I did in all of my business classes.”
