  • Cogent Reports: Jackson National and Lincoln Financial Top Advisors’ Annuity Consideration Set

    March 5, 2019 by Market Strategies International. Cogent Reports™. Annuity Brandscape™.

    CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Financial advisors looking to invest client assets in annuities rank Jackson National, Lincoln Financial Group and Pacific Life in their top five across three types of annuities: variable, fixed and indexed. However, the leader and subsequent rankings vary by product category, as advisors are influenced by different factors when considering each product type. While Jackson National stands out as advisors’ favorite for variable annuities, Lincoln Financial Group achieves the highest consideration for fixed and indexed annuities. These and other findings are from Annuity Brandscape™, a Cogent Reports™ study released by Market Strategies International-Morpace.

    Advisors cite the ability to generate guaranteed income in retirement for their clients as the top reason for selling annuity products. Offering the best retirement income products is the most important consideration driver for variable annuities, while guaranteed rates and product simplicity are the most important areas to convey for fixed and indexed annuities. Annuity providers must be aware of differences in the drivers of consideration by product type and focus their sales and marketing messages accordingly.

    “Firms looking to bolster advisor interest should work to target the right benefits to the right people at the right time,” said Meredith Lloyd Rice, vice president at Market Strategies-Morpace and author of the report. “Building strong advisor engagement, through wholesaler and digital interactions, is critical to developing this understanding.”

    In fact, underpinning their leading consideration scores, Jackson National and Lincoln Financial both stand out as leaders in wholesaler penetration and marketing outreach, leaving both firms in a position to benefit from rising annuity sales.
