After performing due diligence on a number of vendors to be able to provide a side-by-side comparison for Variable Annuity exchanges, PKS Investments chose Insurance Technologies’ VisibleChoice™ as it’s annuity sales solution provider. The deciding factors in their decision to select VisibleChoice™ were; its built-in compliance and suitability features, its ability to deliver quick, comprehensive Annuity product information including all carrier product details such as costs, riders, benefits, etc. Affordability was also a compelling factor in their decision.

“VisibleChoice™ is very comprehensive and user friendly. Currently, all our reps that sell Variable Annuities are required to use VisibleChoice™. The annuity reports that VisibleChoice™ provides is proving very helpful in our supervisory review of the sales and exchanges of Variable Annuities” said Katherine Flouton, COO, Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments. “Working with Insurance Technologies has been a very positive experience.
