Market conditions, combined with the looming threat of the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule, are driving up demand for fixed indexed annuities, a panel of insurance executives said Monday.

Lowe was part of the panel of executive who spoke during the Insured Retirement Institute’s Marketing Summit 2016 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
