    Nasdaq Index Solutions Help Insurance Companies Offer Compelling, Differentiated Annuities

    Building Brand Recognition and Trust

    As investors look beyond traditional annuities, insurance firms face equal opportunity and risk

    Intersecting trends are creating both opportunities and risks for insurance firms. For example, market volatility and a low-interest rate environment have reduced the appeal of traditional fixed-income annuities.

    At the same time, investors are wanting more diversification in their portfolio—both to provide downside protection, and to align with the innovation and thematic trends (e.g., AI, ESG, etc.) with the most growth potential.

    The problem is, as insurance companies work to offer these kinds of diverse, index-linked products, they’re at risk of disappearing into a market already overflowing with recognizable issuers and products.

    By partnering with Nasdaq, you will position your annuity lineup for opportunity and growth.
