  • Corebridge Financial Brings Cryptocurrency to Index Annuities

    January 27, 2026 by Corebridge Financial

    HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Corebridge Financial today announced the introduction of the Invesco New Economy Index, providing exposure to some of the most innovative areas of the market, including cryptocurrency, through the Corebridge Power Select Index Annuities.

    The Invesco New Economy Index, created by Invesco, one of the world’s leading asset management firms, aims to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns through dynamic allocations to two exchange-traded products, Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO). The new index is available exclusively in Power Select Index Annuities, which are part of the Corebridge family of index annuities and distributed by Market Synergy Group (MSG), one of the nation’s largest networks of independent marketing organizations.

    Invesco QQQ ETF tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, an index that contains the 100 largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange®, providing exposure to pioneering companies that are at the forefront of transformative long-term themes such as augmented reality, cloud computing, big data, mobile payments, streaming services and electric vehicles. Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF aims to track the spot price of bitcoin, providing a secure and simplified way to gain exposure to cryptocurrency.

    “Corebridge Financial has long brought innovation and advancement to the annuity industry, and we are excited to do so again in partnership with Invesco and Market Synergy Group,” said Bryan Pinsky, President of Individual Retirement and Life Insurance at Corebridge Financial. “We look forward to delivering this opportunity to our partners and their clients – a compelling combination of growth potential from new economic drivers alongside the principal protection and protected lifetime income that are fundamental to index annuities.”

    “Invesco is proud to bring together two of its most high demand investment capabilities in the Invesco New Economy Index, a tailored investment solution for Corebridge Financial,” said Peter Miller, Head of Client Investment Solutions, North America, Invesco. “The dual allocation to Nasdaq-100 companies and spot bitcoin is another example of the innovative solutions Invesco can provide insurance companies looking to stay ahead of client demand.”

    “We are pleased to provide our financial professionals with this innovative new way to gain exposure to technology and cryptocurrency,” said Lance Sparks, President, Market Synergy Group. “Bitcoin’s market capitalization is nearly $2 trillion, but many of our clients are seeking a lower risk alternative to adding direct exposure to cryptocurrency to their investment portfolios. Index annuities remain a powerful tool offering growth potential, principal protection and guaranteed income, and the Invesco New Economy Index resets what’s possible for how index annuities can achieve that growth.”

    The Power Select Index Annuities are issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL), a member company of Corebridge Financial, Inc. These annuities offer tax deferral, principal protection against down markets, growth potential through a diverse range of index interest accounts, and guaranteed lifetime income options to help consumers prepare for retirement. Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of AGL.

    Index annuities are not a direct investment in the stock market. They are long-term insurance products with guarantees backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They provide the potential for interest to be credited based in part on the performance of the specified index, without the risk of loss of premium due to market downturns or fluctuations. Index annuities may not be appropriate for all individuals.

    Withdrawals may be subject to federal and/or state income taxes. An additional 10% federal tax may apply if individuals make withdrawals or surrender their annuity before age 59½. Individuals should consult their tax advisor regarding their specific situation.

Contract Numbers: AG-800 (12/12), AG-801 (12/12), AG-801 (2/25) and ICC25-AG-801 (2/25). AGL is a member company of Corebridge Financial, Inc. The underwriting risks, financial and contractual obligations, and support functions associated with the annuities issued by AGL are its responsibility.
