Why would I recommend doing Business with ANTEX? Being that Final Expense is the vast majority of my business, the Moody Group offers unique options such as 401K’s that other IMO’s don’t have to expand my company. The Corporate Management is a quick phone call away from my questions & make you feel welcomed.

ANTEX is part of American National which makes the financial strength & stability part of what I sell my clients.

As an individual who has worked in the financial markets for many years, I have chosen to work with The Moody Group for a number of reasons. First, the products are some of the best in the industry. Second, the support I receive from the Marketing and Management Team is unexcelled. And third, the Moody Group maintains a very high level of ethics and standards in its marketing and sales philosophy.
