Flourish Annuities Expands Annuity Marketplace with Corebridge Financial Partnership

NEW YORK — August 6, 2024 —Flourish, a platform that provides innovative access to financial products that help registered investment advisors (“RIAs”) improve their clients’ financial outcomes, today announced its partnership with Corebridge Financial, one of the largest providers of retirement solutions and insurance products in the United States.

Through the partnership, the American Pathway Advisory multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA) that Corebridge launched earlier this year will be added to the Flourish Annuities platform, the first end-to-end annuities solution built explicitly for RIAs and their clients. American Pathway Advisory allows consumers to lock in growth for three, five or seven years and is designed to help RIAs maintain a consistent allocation to guaranteed rates within their client portfolios. The advisory solution brings enhanced flexibility through innovative renewal options and no withdrawal charges, which gives consumers access to their money and makes it easier for RIAs to manage assets should needs or circumstances change.

The January 2024 launch of Flourish Annuities has generated remarkable demand from over 200 RIA firms, and stands out as an operationally streamlined solution, simplified to save time and minimize complexity. Key features include the Flourish Insurance Agency, an outsourced insurance desk (OID), which eliminates the need for advisors to hold insurance licenses; a digital application process to eliminate complicated paperwork; and a vetted marketplace of fee-based annuities from multiple carriers.

“With the advent of Flourish Annuities, RIAs now have an advisor-centric platform to seamlessly add multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs) to client portfolios to deliver attractive guaranteed returns, full principal protection, and tax deferred growth. The addition of Corebridge, one of the largest and most innovative carriers in the space, expands our marketplace to give RIAs more MYGA options," said Max Lane, CEO of Flourish. "Every advisor should be considering MYGAs for client portfolios and the Corebridge American Pathway Advisory offers clients liquidity and flexible terms.”

“Our American Pathway Advisory MYGA offers growth and principal protection along with flexibility and convenience,” said Eric Taylor, RICP®, Senior Vice President, National Sales Manager, Corebridge Financial. “We are pleased to bring our advisory solution to RIAs through the Flourish Annuities platform and look forward to connecting with more advisors who want to help their clients take action to build the future they envision.”

Over 800 RIAs managing over $1.5 trillion in combined assets trust Flourish to help them bring more assets into their orbit. The Flourish platform allows advisors to feature their firm’s branding, take discretion or offer as client-directed accounts, as well as providing client-friendly marketing materials, robust and customizable compliance resources, white-glove support, and more.
