Pacific Life and The BluePrint Team Up to Increase Access to Commission-free Annuities for RIAs

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (March 23, 2021)—Pacific Life today announced it has expanded access to the company’s three fee-based annuities, Pacific Advisory Variable Annuity, Pacific Odyssey^®, and Pacific Index Advisory^®, through The BluePrint, a leading operational insurance platform for financial professionals.

As more investors seek a comprehensive client experience, registered investment advisors (RIAs) and fee-based financial professionals are answering that call by incorporating risk-management conversations into their practices.

Previously, traditional commission-based annuities were viewed as too expensive, a conflict of interest, and were often technologically incompatible with the RIA business model. However, the advisory-friendly design of modern annuities and the arrival of outsourced insurance desks have eliminated or reduced these barriers.

This wave of innovation comes just in time to help solve planning necessities and answer a growing demand for the features that annuities offer.

“We’ve just launched our investment-focused solution, Pacific Advisory Variable Annuity, and we’re excited to offer it and our other advisory annuities to the RIAs on The BluePrint platform,” said Doug Mantelli, vice president of RIA strategy at Pacific Life. “The BluePrint incorporates comprehensive hands-on training and delivers exceptional customer service. We’re proud to team up with a distributor of their caliber.”

Pacific Life’s dedicated RIA team, Pacific Life Advisory, is focused on creating competitive, fee-based annuities and helping financial professionals incorporate them into their practices. Simplified technology integrations are a priority, and the company continues to team up with new custodians and insurance-licensing firms to make it as easy as possible to include annuities in clients’ portfolios.

“We’re very excited to partner with Pacific Life and help deliver a progressive insurance solution to fee-based RIAs and fee-based advisors,” said Michael Robinson, head of Annuity Distribution at The Blueprint. “We believe the advice landscape has changed, and clients want a comprehensive client experience. This type of client solution helps enable RIAs to deliver a more holistic approach by incorporating additional services into their practices.”
