NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FinTech–SIMON Annuities and Insurance Services LLC (“SIMON”) today announced a new partnership with Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”) in a move that expands SIMON’s annuities platform and digital marketplace for wealth managers with the addition of Symetra fixed indexed annuities and structured variable annuities. Both product lines are now available on SIMON’s Marketplace, which provides in-depth pre- and post-sale analytics to financial professionals serving the retirement needs of clients.

Jason Broder, CEO of SIMON, said: “The annuities industry is rapidly evolving as advisors rethink traditional portfolios while looking for a balance between accumulation and income. SIMON engages advisors with a holistic, interactive experience giving them the tools to easily navigate the annuities landscape and in turn have better solutions and conversations with their clients. We’re thrilled to welcome Symetra to SIMON, and to offer their products to advisors on our platform.”

Advisors can now seamlessly find and explore Symetra annuity products and features, run powerful allocation and income analytics, and access product-specific marketing literature—all from directly within SIMON’s interactive platform. The Symetra product lineup will expand to include fixed annuities later this year.
