Genworth’s Innovative Income Assurance Immediate Need Annuity Now Available on the CANNEX Income Annuity Exchange

NEW YORK, NY, March 29, 2017 – Genworth Life Insurance Company has partnered with CANNEX, a leading independent provider of retirement product pricing and analytics, to make its Income Assurance Immediate Need Annuity available to advisors through the CANNEX Income Annuity Exchange.

“Sharing pricing and benefits information on the CANNEX Annuity Exchange is a powerful way for us to reach financial professionals across the market and highlight the Income Assurance Immediate Need Annuity value proposition in the context of other income annuity options,” said Jerry Larkin, National Sales Manager with Genworth. “The innovative quote process allows us to provide financial professionals with monthly payment estimates based on a set of adverse health conditions at different ages, before moving forward with the underwriting process to obtain the final guaranteed income.”

Introduced last year, the Income Assurance Immediate Need Annuity is a medically underwritten single premium immediate annuity that offers guaranteed lifetime monthly income payments for older, less healthy Americans needing care now or in the near future. The monthly payment may be larger than a traditional immediate annuity if the beneficiary has an adverse health condition and the income can be used for any purpose.

“We are delighted to add Genworth’s Income Assurance Immediate Need Annuity to our platform,” said Gary Baker, President CANNEX, USA. “The income annuity exchange and our other annuity comparison tools provide advisors with the information they need to understand the value of different annuities and select those that meet the specific needs of each client.”

The CANNEX Annuity Exchange is used by more than 400 financial institutions and supports over 500,000 financial advisors and consultants across North America. In addition to Income Annuities in the U.S., the platform also supports the evaluation and comparison of other guaranteed lifetime income products including Variable Annuities, Indexed Annuities, and Fixed Rate Annuities.
