Portfolio Named Endorsed Provider by Wyoming Auto Dealers
LAKE FOREST, Calif. - Portfolio one of the nation’s leading reinsurance program managers for automotive dealers, has entered into an agreement with the Wyoming Automobile Dealers Association (WADA) to bring reinsurance profit participation and retrospective commission programs to the association and its dealers who sell Portfolio F&I products.
Former WADA President, Chuck Ruwart, who provided leadership in the agreement, observed, “Portfolio brings a true dealer-centered approach to the vital F&I profit center, so we believe they are a great fit with our organization. They were very creative in creating a win-win for both all our members and the association, so we endorse them to our members.”
Details of the agreement were not released, but the program is designed to provide reinsurance profit participation benefits to any WADA dealer who chooses to sell Portfolio products, regardless of their size.
Association Executive Vice-President Marsha Allen added, “Portfolio offers more products to our dealers than they previously had access to, and has created an annual bonus plan for our smaller dealers who sell them. Our larger dealers will have access to the same products plus Portfolio’s superb reinsurance management services. There are more profits here for everyone, and more vehicle protection options for our dealers’ customers.”
“We thank everyone we worked with in Wyoming, both in the Association and our dealer supporters,” said Graye Wolfe, Portfolio’s Managing Director. “I am confident that our local team of Fred Flores and Wendy Phillips of FITS Services, supported by our Reinsurance Specialist, Lance Young, will deliver great service and value to all the participating dealerships.”
