Business Wire

Introducing a comprehensive suite of annuity products powered by a digital sales process

HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Talcott Financial Group (“Talcott”), an international life insurance group and leading provider of comprehensive risk solutions, today announced its official launch in the retail annuity market segment with three fixed annuity products.

Talcott’s annuity offerings include one multi-year guaranteed annuity and two fixed indexed annuities - one focused on accumulation and the other on guaranteed income. In volatile markets, these fixed index products provide principal protection while also allowing the policyholder to participate in upside from market returns.

Along with offering competitive terms on its new products, Talcott has built a technology-enabled, streamlined sales process to reduce friction for both policyholders and agents. Together, these three new annuity products and Talcott’s digitally-enabled sales are expected to provide a best-in-class experience for both the policyholder and the agent.

“Today’s launch of our retail annuity products marks a significant milestone in our growth journey and is a testament to the dedication of our employees,” said Imran Siddiqui, Chief Executive Officer, Talcott. “Our new retail annuity products draw on our over 40-year legacy of providing income solutions for policyholders and aligning our interest with theirs. We see a massive opportunity to bring the core competencies and capabilities we’ve built in risk management and our open-architecture investment management model to the growing retail market and help meet the critical need for principal protection and guaranteed income.”

Talcott Financial Group Fixed Annuity Product Overview

Talcott is coming to market with three core fixed annuity products to meet a wide range of policyholder priorities. These products include:

EverGuard Aspire Series: The EverGuard^SMAspire Series provides index-linked growth potential with protection from market losses. It’s a long-term solution designed to support accumulation, giving policyholders a way to build their savings while helping safeguard their principal along the way and support their long-term evolving retirement income needs.
EverGuard Assurance: EverGuard^SM Assurance 10 is designed to protect the policyholder’s premium from market losses while offering growth potential tied to a market index. For income needs, it features guaranteed deferral credits that grow their income base independent of market performance, helping ensure secure, predictable income for retirement.
EverStead MYGA: The EverStead^SMMYGA is a multi-year guaranteed annuity that offers a fixed rate of compound interest for the selected term, providing policyholders with steady, predictable growth and peace of mind regardless of market fluctuations.

“Talcott has a strong value proposition to offer policyholders and agents. We are well positioned to help address the growing demand from retirees and pre-retirees for products like annuities that securely boost income or protect principal in retirement,” said Ryan Lex, Head of Retail Distribution, Talcott. “Our comprehensive suite of annuity products, along with our technology-enabled underwriting process, provide a unique value proposition for both policyholders and agents. We’re excited to offer this set of products while streamlining the policy underwriting process.”
