The Financial Times Group Debuts Beta Version of Life Insurance/Annuities Biz Intel Service
April 20, 2017 by Greg Shulas
The Money-Media unit of the Financial Times Group has launched a beta version of Life Annuity Specialist, a business intelligence service written for executives at life insurance carriers and annuity providers, not for agents. The publisher wants to make Life Annuity Specialist a one-stop source that you can rely on for efficient aggregation of industry news and original reporting on trends impacting the market. It believes the industry can benefit from more focused news as it confronts various challenges and opportunities, spanning from the growth of the millennial generation to the future of the DOL Fiduciary Rule and digital disruption.

Life Annuity Specialist’s editorial mandate calls for thorough coverage of all firms that manufacture and sell variable, fixed and indexed annuities, term and permanent life insurance, as well as other insurance solutions of the life and health market. And while it will frequently cover issues concerning insurance agents or advisors, it will do so with a clear emphasis on how those intermediaries impact the actual product manufacturers, ie, life insurance carriers and annuity providers. This should result in a service that is more actionable, concise and relevant for its readership of distribution, compliance, tech/ops, product development and C-level professionals.
