New mobile tool provides information and resources to help introduce
Elite Access to financial advisers
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (Jackson) today
launched the Elite Access iPad application (“app”), providing the
company’s wholesalers with easy mobile access to information on
Jackson’s newest product offering. The app is designed to help Jackson’s
wholesalers educate financial advisers on Elite Access and alternative
investment strategies.
The app is the next stage in Jackson’s Elite Access educational
campaign, which kicked off in March and aims to meet increasing adviser
demand for information on potential utilization of alternative
investments within client portfolios. The campaign also includes a Web
presence (www.Elite-Access.com),
regional seminars, webcasts, training programs, multimedia marketing
materials and an upgrade to Jackson’s Portfolio Construction Tool to
include alternative asset classes and correlation analysis.
The Elite Access iPad app includes information on Jackson’s money
manager partners, as well as the lineup of alternative investments
options available within the new product. In addition to information on
the tax deferred1 structure of an annuity contract, the app
also provides background on the packaged strategies included in the
Elite Access product.
“Jackson understands the importance of providing our sales force with
fast, convenient and comprehensive mobile resources so they can
introduce advisers to alternative investing strategies,” said Luis
Gomez, vice president of marketing strategy for Jackson. “The iPad app
equips wholesalers with a one-stop shop to instantly customize sales
presentations using all available marketing assets to meet each
adviser’s unique needs, as well as demonstrate Jackson’s robust
technology capabilities.”
Elite Access is a variable annuity designed to provide the opportunity
for greater portfolio diversification2 by utilizing
alternative asset classes. The product combines alternative investments,
risk management strategies and tactical management strategies to deliver
a unique approach to managing market volatility while seeking higher
returns and less risk.
“Jackson’s new iPad app is designed to support our team of more than 500
wholesalers as they work to outline the opportunity presented by
alternative investing strategies,” said Clifford Jack, executive vice
president and head of retail for Jackson. “As an organization, Jackson
is committed to educating advisers on the importance of alternative
investing strategies, given continued volatility and increased
correlations in the traditional equity market. Utilizing alternative
asset classes can help advisers construct counter-correlated portfolios,
which helps address market fluctuations and provides the potential for
greater returns.”

the company’s wholesaling and marketing teams, or the optional features
and benefits available within Jackson’s variable annuity products, can

Before investing in variable products, investors should carefully
consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the
variable product and its underlying investment options. The current
contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses, which are
contained in the same document, provide this and other important
information. Please contact your representative or the Company to obtain
the prospectuses. Please read the prospectuses carefully before
investing or sending money.
1. Tax deferral offers no additional value if an annuity is used to fund
a qualified plan, such as a 401(k) or IRA, and may be found at a lower
cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the
annuity is owned by a “nonnatural person” such as a corporation or
certain types of trusts.
2. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a
declining market.
