Jackson National Launches Flexible Fixed Index Annuities

Jackson National Life Insurance Company has launched two new fixed index annuities designed to safeguard retirement savings while offering growth opportunities.

In an effort to cater to varying retirement needs, Jackson National Life Insurance has rolled out the Jackson Fixed Index Accumulation and Jackson Fixed Index Accumulation Advisory annuities. These products, which come with both commission-based and fee-based structures, offer flexible 5- and 7-year options. Additionally, the Jackson Protection Advantage, a 10-year contract, is available directly through independent agents, further underscoring the company's commitment to providing tailored retirement solutions. Alison Reed, EVP and Head of Distribution at Jackson National Life Distributors LLC, highlights the importance of these offerings in addressing consumer demands and enhancing long-term retirement planning strategies.

Enhanced Product Flexibility for Financial Advisors

Jackson's recent product innovations include the integration of five indices and four crediting methods, enabling financial professionals to customize annuities to meet client-specific goals and preferences. This flexibility not only accommodates diverse client needs but also allows for strategic response to fluctuating market conditions, a critical factor for agents and advisors seeking to optimize retirement portfolios. Enhancements to Jackson's single premium immediate annuity (SPIA) further support this adaptability, allowing advisors more leeway in structuring retirement income streams tailored for individual clients, including options for spousal support and potential income growth.
