Our proprietary technology unbundles annuity insurance protections from underlying investments. This allows advisors to transfer risk for clients to an insurance company, without moving assets.
The resulting solution, a Contingent Deferred Annuity (CDA), allows retail mutual funds and ETFs to be wrapped in brokerage accounts, IRAs or Roth IRAs to generate lifetime income for clients even if the covered assets are depleted (subject to the claims paying ability of the insurance company). And since qualified or non-qualified assets may be covered, this Portfolio Retirement Income Guarantee does not change the tax status of the covered assets.
