Transamerica expands stable value access to retirement plans across recordkeepers
Transamerica announced the immediate availability of an Investment Only version of the Transamerica Guaranteed Investment Option, the company’s general account stable value account. This solution makes the Transamerica Guaranteed Investment Option contract available to retirement plans administered by any third party recordkeeper. The offering expands access to a proven capital preservation option investment strategy designed to protect an investor’s principal investment with predictable returns.
“Plan sponsors and financial professionals want stability for their retirement plan participants without sacrificing progress, and we are meeting requests to offer our proven stable value options as an individual solution,” said Gregg Holgate, head of in-force management and client engagement at Transamerica. “With the new Investment Only version of the Transamerica Guaranteed Investment Option, we combine competitive crediting rates, flexible exit provisions and portability — backed by our financial strength — so customers can move forward with confidence.”
New leadership appointments
To support the expansion, Transamerica has appointed two new managing directors to lead stable value investment solutions nationwide. Chris Solimine, a seasoned investment executive, will oversee the eastern region. He brings extensive experience in developing stable value and multi-asset strategies tailored to retirement plans. Brian Simms will lead efforts in the western region, drawing on his deep institutional retirement sales expertise across all IRS codes and plan types. He offers specialized knowledge in stable value investment solutions for defined contribution plans, collective investment trusts (CITs), and balanced portfolios. Their leadership will help ensure personalized support and strategic guidance for plan sponsors across the country.
