Jackson National Life Offers New Annuity

Jackson National Life Insurance Co. is selling a new flexible fixed annuity product through banks that allows customers to choose different interest rates and premium payment plans.

Jackson National says its new product, dubbed Pathfinder, allows investors to choose from 10 different rates, and corresponding guaranteed periods.

Because of the interest rate environment, bank clients are looking to longer-term, fixed-income products and safety, said Brad Powell, vice president of the firm's Atlanta-based Institutional Marketing Group, in a prepared statement.

He said that Pathfinder was designed for bank clients who prefer to allocate assets among several different maturity periods.

"Pathfinder was designed to provide the ability to ladder maturities," he said.
