Washington National spent the next decade taking full advantage of its classification as a holding company by branching out into other fields in the insurance business. By either forming subsidiary companies or acquiring companies, the newly formed holding company broadened the scope of its operations and evolved into a well-rounded insurance entity. The first step toward the company's decade-long diversification was taken in early 1969, slightly more than a year after Washington National was incorporated, when Washington National announced its intentions to acquire Anchor Corporation, one of the largest and oldest mutual fund organizations in the world, and its life insurance subsidiary, Anchor National Life Insurance Company. The acquisition of Anchor, the largest mutual manager ever absorbed by an insurance company, aped another insurance industry trend of the period that saw a rash of affiliations between mutual fund companies and insurance companies, as insurance carriers fought to keep pace with each other in the race toward diversification. Later that year, Washington National added another subsidiary company to its corporate umbrella when it formed Washington National Equity Company as a broker-dealer to enable the sale of mutual funds and variable annuities by the holding company's sales force. Along with its equity company, the holding company formed Washington National Corporation Development Company to engage in equity-related real estate investments.

Lo Duca, who was the Mets' catcher for two years, will replace Schneider, whom the Mets acquired from the Nationals 11 days ago to fill Lo Duca's position.
