Strong demand for retirement income solutions such as annuities persists; however, many advisors still find integrating them into client plans overly complex. FIDx addresses this challenge by eliminating barriers created by outdated, disconnected systems, making insurance solutions more accessible and manageable throughout the full product lifecycle within client portfolios.
Ann Nanda, Head of Future Growth Initiatives and Distribution Enablement for Prudential Retirement Strategies, stated, “At Prudential, we are committed to expanding access to retirement security by empowering advisors with more effective and integrated tools. FIDx is a key innovator in this space, providing platforms that connect wealth managers with lifetime income strategies that can help them protect their life’s work, so they can live better lives, longer.”
Significantly highlighting the value of FIDx, asset managers have joined the cap table for the first time. Investors Franklin Templeton and Invesco emphasized FIDx’s substantial contributions to the advisory landscape:
“The connectivity between wealth managers and insurance providers enabled by FIDx is key to integrating insurance and income strategies into holistic client solutions,” said Roger Paradiso, Head of Custom Client Solutions at Franklin Templeton. “Our work to connect FIDx and our Canvas Custom Indexing platform continues the ongoing expansion of innovative solutions available to clients on the Canvas platform while also creating an additional access point for partners across the industry to tap into these offerings.”
“Our investment in FIDx reflects Invesco’s commitment to delivering innovative retirement solutions that help advisors and their clients achieve greater financial security,” said John McDonough, Head of Americas Distribution at Invesco. “By integrating FIDx’s powerful technology with our investment expertise, we’re expanding access to lifetime income and decumulation strategies that are essential for today’s evolving retirement landscape.”
