Annuity and insurance providers invest heavily to work with financial advisors, implementing extensive sales, marketing, service, training, product development, and operational efforts to support the distribution of solutions such as variable annuities, income annuities, indexed annuities, life insurance, and long term care policies. While many advisors fully embrace annuities and insurance, others resist these solutions. Advisors are facing new challenges given the complex external environment exacerbated by the Covid-19 crisis as well as shifting needs, expectations, and anxieties of baby boomers and younger generations.
Practical Perspectives, a leading consulting and research firm, examines how advisors work with annuity and insurance firms and what advisors want and need from these providers. This new 114-page report builds on prior research and offers data driven insights on how advisors perceive and use annuities and insurance, the ways they select providers, how coronavirus may change use of annuities and insurance, the importance of various aspects of how providers support advisors, and what may be missing from the assistance advisors currently receive. This new report is based on proprietary research completed in late April/early May 2020 with input from over 600 advisors including those affiliated with RIAs, independent brokers, and wirehouse, national, and regional firms.
