NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Life announced that the company’s fee-based, advisory annuities are now available to independent registered investment advisers (RIAs) through TD Ameritrade.

“TD Ameritrade is an industry leader with independent RIAs. Expanding our distribution through them with our two fee-based annuities, Pacific Odyssey® and Pacific Index Advisory®, supports our overall strategy to provide broader access to our retirement solutions and grow our RIA business,” says Doug Mantelli, vice president of RIA strategy for Pacific Life’s Retirement Solutions Division.

Pacific Odyssey, Pacific Life’s fee-based, advisory variable annuity, offers individuals the ability to grow retirement savings through tax deferral, convert assets to lifetime retirement income, and leave a financial legacy through a guaranteed death benefit. RIAs can build a diversified portfolio that meets their clients’ needs and manages their investment strategies by transferring among a diverse selection of investment options.

Pacific Index Advisory, a fee-based, fixed indexed annuity, is designed for clients who want to protect principal while giving them the opportunity to grow contract value through market-based interest crediting. Clients will never lose principal due to market performance as this product is not a security, and their money is not directly invested in the market. Plus, any interest earned because of positive index performance is added to the contract value and protected from any future market downturns. In addition, the rates and caps for Pacific Index Advisory do not change throughout the entire length of the initial guaranteed period.

“Annuities can serve as a key foundation in retirement planning by providing an element of certainty,” says Matt Sadowsky, director of Retirement and Annuities at TD Ameritrade. “We’re pleased to expand our annuity concierge platform with Pacific Life’s fee-based annuities, providing even more options for independent RIAs as they build their clients’ retirement plans.”

Annuities are provided through The Insurance Agency of TD Ameritrade, LLC, to clients of independent RIAs who use TD Ameritrade Institutional as a custodian.

TD Ameritrade Institutional clients who want to learn more about annuities and other wealth management solutions can contact their relationship managers. Other advisors are invited to call TD Ameritrade Institutional at (866) 451-1258.

TD Ameritrade and Pacific Life are separate, unaffiliated firms that are not responsible for each other’s services or policies. Annuities are provided to TD Ameritrade clients through The Insurance Agency of TD Ameritrade, LLC.
