NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global Atlantic Financial Group announced that it has joined the Alliance for Lifetime Income as a founding member. The coalition brings together 24 of the nation’s leading financial services organizations with a common goal of raising awareness around lifetime income solutions for Americans.

Global Atlantic has long been committed to providing education and products that can simplify the conversation around the need for lifetime income from annuities to help protect the financial future of Americans.

“We are proud to be one of the founding members of the alliance. There is no question that a retirement crisis is gripping America and leading financial organizations are banding together to create a call to action on the need to help rectify this,” said Paula Nelson, President, Retirement, Global Atlantic. “Annuities have had a reputation of being confusing and misunderstood.
