Jackson Launches Digital Experience for Independent RIAs

Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson) today announced it has introduced a new distribution digital experience focused on independent Registered Investment Advisors (iRIAs) and their clients. As part of this new service, Jackson distribution associates will serve as licensed insurance professionals to help meet the needs of iRIAs and their clients. The new online portal, designed specifically for iRIAs, comes more than a year after Jackson began making its products available through third-party iRIA distribution partners, including DPL Financial Partners, TD Ameritrade, RetireOne and Financial Insurance Group.

The introduction of this new digital experience complements Jackson’s existing distribution channels, including Independent Broker Dealers, Banks and Wires. These traditional channels will continue to service hybrid RIAs who maintain an affiliation with a broker-dealer, while iRIAs will now be serviced by six dedicated RIA consultants.

“Today’s announcement is a natural progression of our efforts to deliver Jackson solutions to more of the market,” said Scott Romine, President, Advisory Solutions, Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD). “Our new online portal will create a positive end-to-end experience for iRIAs and provide greater choice in products and investments for meeting their clients’ unique preferences.”

The digital experience on Jackson.com provides clients of iRIAs with access to a suite of fee-based annuity offerings with no commissions or withdrawal charges, including Jackson Private Wealth, an investment only variable annuity; Perspective Advisory II, a variable annuity with add-on benefits; and MarketProtector Advisory, a fixed index annuity.

“A key element of digital transformation is our ability to provide valuable experiences for independent RIAs by digitally enhancing their touch points with Jackson,” said Dev Ganguly, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Jackson. “Through the launch of the new online portal, we are highlighting our commitment to a digital-first approach, including the submission of client information as well as paperless processes all serviced by a fully licensed concierge team.”
