1The concierge team operates as part of Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD”). JNLD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (collectively, with its affiliates “Jackson”) and distributes annuities issued by Jackson. JNLD’s primary activities involve the distribution of annuities, insurance, and mutual funds issued by Jackson and its affiliates through financial intermediaries. JNLD offers limited brokerage services and makes recommendations to retail investors who are referred to it by fiduciaries such as trust companies and registered investment advisers. The concierge team's financial professionals will review a client's investment profile and may make a recommendation regarding a Jackson annuity if doing so is in the client's best interest. If a client wants the annuity, JNLD then serves as the broker/dealer of record and insurance agency for the transaction. JNLD's recommendations are limited to products sponsored by Jackson. JNLD and its concierge team’s financial professionals are not fiduciaries with respect to the recommendations and do not maintain a fiduciary relationship with your clients. JNLD does not make investment decisions for your clients or provide ongoing investment advice, monitor investments, or hold customer accounts or assets. JNLD forwards your client’s product application to Jackson, the insurance carrier. Your client’s investment is held directly by Jackson, not in an account at JNLD. Upon acceptance of the application by Jackson, JNLD’s relationship with your client ends.
Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement and are insurance contracts. Variable annuities and registered index-linked annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. Add-on living benefits are available for an extra charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the variable annuity and may be subject to conditions and limitations. There is no guarantee that a variable annuity with an add-on living benefit will provide sufficient supplemental retirement income.
