Lincoln Enhances Series Of Funds
Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation, Philadelphia, is introducing Lincoln Variable Insurance Product Dimensional Funds and Vanguard ETF Funds, new fund-of-funds investment options available through Lincoln variable life, annuity and defined contribution products.
Designed to achieve long-term growth, these investing strategies provide investors with access to retirement planning while leveraging Lincoln's experience in risk management and asset allocation.
The LVIP Dimensional Funds were developed to achieve long-term capital appreciation and access to a risk-managed asset allocation strategy. The LVIP Vanguard ETF Funds provide exposure to domestic and international ETFs to help investors track indices and gain equity and fixed-income exposure through a diversified approach.
The Hartford Expands Annuities
The Hartford is re-entering the structured settlement annuity market as part of a strategy to expand its annuity business.
The Hartford's Structured Settlement Fixed Annuity, issued by Hartford Life Insurance Co., will provide tax-free payouts to people who receive settlements related to a workers' compensation or personal injury claim. The Hartford also offers medical underwriting for structured settlements, which can potentially increase their periodic payments.
ByAllAccounts And Redtail Form Partnership
ByAllAccounts, which provides account aggregation, and Redtail Technology, a provider of client relationship management software, are partnering to provide advisors with easier access to more comprehensive client snapshots.
The new partnership is designed to allow financial advisors a more efficient means of populating their client relationship management software with clients' custodied and held-away account data to provide a complete net-worth picture.
