Dennis Glass, president and CEO of Lincoln Financial Group, said: “Strong sales across all segments combined with good persistency drove growth in net flows, the result of distribution-related productivity gains and shelf space expansion and comprehensive product offerings.

I am confident that Lincoln today is well-positioned to deliver on the strong demand for insurance and retirement solutions.”
