MDRT Revises Production Requirements For 2021 PARK RIDGE, Ill. (Feb. 9, 2021) — Throughout its nearly 100-year history, MDRT has evolved alongside the financial services profession, adapting and innovating its leading production requirements to best serve top financial professionals worldwide. In the face of last year’s business challenges, MDRT innovated once more, adjusting 2021 production requirements to ensure equal opportunity for qualified financial services professionals around the globe while maintaining the association’s ongoing standard of excellence. As the premiere association of financial professionals, MDRT qualification has long set the standard for success, with companies worldwide referencing the association’s production requirements as a benchmark for identifying top-performing employees. Acknowledging the influence its high standards have on the financial services profession, as well as the pandemic’s unprecedented but unique impact on each country, MDRT innovated to ensure its requirements were adjusted for each country equitably, while remaining first-rate. In collaboration with economist Dr. Judy Xanthopoulos, principal at Quantria Strategies, LLC, MDRT developed a data-driven formula to supplement its current production requirement methodology, the Blended Indices Model (BIM).
