Legacy Marketing Group® and Malibu Life USA Announce Distribution Partnership for New Fixed Indexed Annuity Platform

This partnership expands Legacy’s carrier relationships and supports the anticipated September 2026 launch of PillarMark^SM and SpireMark^SM products.

PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Legacy Marketing Group (“Legacy”), a leading designer and marketer of fixed indexed annuity solutions, today announced that it has entered a strategic distribution alliance with Malibu Life USA, the U.S. retail insurance brand of Malibu Life Holdings Limited.

Through the alliance, Legacy will expand the range of retirement income solutions available to its independent marketing organizations (IMOs) and agent partners. The relationship brings together Legacy’s product development, distribution, and service capabilities with Malibu Life USA’s U.S. retail insurance brand to introduce two new fixed indexed annuity products. Products will be written on the paper of Malibu Life’s Texas-domiciled life insurance company, TruSpire Retirement Insurance Company (“TruSpire”).

“Legacy is excited to partner with Malibu Life USA as we continue to broaden our carrier relationships and bring much-needed retirement planning solutions to market,” said Preston Pitts, President of Legacy Marketing Group. “This collaboration reflects our shared focus on innovation, consumer value, and ease of doing business for the independent distribution community.”

The planned rollout includes PillarMark and SpireMark, two fixed indexed annuity products designed to support different retirement income planning needs. PillarMark is tailored for clients seeking deferred lifetime income with the potential for increasing payouts over time, while SpireMark is a fee-based solution for clients seeking flexible income with early income opportunities. Both products are expected to feature Allocation Blueprints, a planning tool designed to help clients and agents align investment allocations with their individual earnings approach.

“This partnership marks an important milestone for Malibu Life USA as we enter the fixed indexed annuity market,” said Simpa Baiye, President of Malibu Life USA. “Legacy’s expertise in developing and marketing innovative retirement solutions, combined with its longstanding relationships across the independent distribution community, makes it an ideal partner. Together, we look forward to bringing solutions to market that provide meaningful value to agents and help consumers plan for a more secure financial future.”

Legacy expects the new alliance to strengthen its carrier lineup while preserving the elements that have long defined its approach: proprietary product design, independent distribution, relationship-focused service, and a commitment to solutions that help consumers plan for more secure retirement outcomes.

In July, Malibu Life completed its acquisition of TruSpire, establishing Malibu Life USA as the company’s U.S. retail insurance brand.

PillarMark and SpireMark are expected to launch in September 2026, subject to applicable approvals and final business readiness.
