New Novarica brief examines challenges and opportunities in recent annuities trends
Boston, MA (Aug. 9, 2017) – Recent trends in the annuities insurance market are creating both challenges and opportunities for insurers, including low interest rates, regulatory changes, lower fees, and negative market perceptions. In a new executive brief, Emerging Trends in Annuities, research and advisory firm Novarica outlines the current state of the annuities market and key trends in the responses of annuities carriers to market challenges.
Carriers are adapting to these recent trends with strategies to approach the market with simplified product sets and the technological capabilities to enable and support a defined, flexible, and well-connected distribution. Through these strategies, annuities insurers can position themselves for success in the future.
“The days of annuities giants offering an overwhelming volume of complex, tough-to-understand annuity products are gone,” says Chris Eberly, Vice President of Research and Consulting at Novarica. “Creating and managing a clear strategy seems to be the favored direction for carriers in the market. This simplification will support a lower learning curve for distribution and customers as well as reduce expenses associated with releasing and supporting products.”
A preview of the brief is available online at https://novarica.com/emerging-trends-in-annuities/, and desk copies of the full report are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Rebecca Wojciechowicz at 617-897-1923 for more information.
