FIDx Wins 2026 MMI/Barron's Industry Award for Technology/Solutions Provider of the Year - Emerging Technologies
FIDx Recognized for Bringing Guaranteed Lifetime Income Into Managed Accounts Without Moving Client Assets
BERWYN, Pa., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiduciary Exchange LLC (FIDx) today announced that it has been named a winner of the 2026 MMI/Barron's Industry Award in the Technology/Solutions Provider of the Year – Emerging Technologies category. The award recognizes FIDx Insurance Overlays, the technology infrastructure that adds guaranteed lifetime income and protection to managed accounts without moving client assets.
Now in their 18th year, the MMI/Barron's Industry Awards highlight firms in 12 categories, spanning asset management, wealth management platforms, technology, marketing, education, and community impact, which have developed ideas and solutions that are making a constructive difference in moving the industry forward. The awards program is organized and sponsored by the Money Management Institute (MMI), the industry association for financial services firms, and Barron's, the country's premier financial publication.
"We are grateful to MMI, Barron's and our industry peers for recognizing the work behind Insurance Overlays," said Michael Kazanjian, Head of Insurance Overlays at FIDx. "Advisors have never lacked interest in protected lifetime income for their clients. What they lacked was a way to deliver it without moving assets, giving up control of the allocation, or leaving the platforms they use every day. The connectivity we built among carriers, custodians, and wealth management platforms removes that barrier: the client stays invested exactly as they were, the advisor keeps full control of the portfolio, and the only thing added is protection. We look forward to seeing more advisors and clients plan, and spend, with that confidence."
FIDx's Insurance Overlays marketplace went live with a Prudential strategy on the Dimensional Fund Advisors Unified Managed Account (UMA) platform. This milestone marked the first time a contingent deferred annuity overlay was natively delivered within a UMA workflow.
