Lombard International's Private Placement Variable Annuity Available on FIDx

BERWYN, Pa., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiduciary Exchange LLC (FIDx) announces it has joined forces with Lombard International to provide access to Lombard International's private placement variable annuity solutions for more than 100,000 financial advisors on the proprietary FIDx platform.

"Lombard International is one of the largest private placement insurance providers in the U.S. and around the world. It has a 30-year track record of working with advisors that serve high-net-worth clients, making it an ideal strategic partner as we continue expanding the suite of sophisticated annuity solutions available through our ecosystem," said Rich Romano, Chief Executive Officer at FIDx. "Lombard International's private placement variable annuity can give advisors the opportunity to help clients wishing to create customized, tax-deferred annuity portfolios with a broader selection of traditional and alternative asset classes that they would not normally be able to obtain through an insurance carrier. We are proud to provide an end-to-end digitized process for advisors that simplifies the management of this powerful legacy planning solution for their clients."  

In addition to wealth accumulation, private placement variable annuities (PPVA) allow high-net-worth families to earmark a portion of their assets for multi-generational planning and charitable giving.

"At Lombard International, our aim is to always strive to find solutions that support high-net-worth individuals and their families to protect, preserve, and pass on their wealth for future generations. We are therefore excited to partner with FIDx to improve the distribution of private placement variable annuities to financial advisors and meet the growing demand for PPVA from their end clients," said Michael Gordon, Chief Executive Officer, U.S. and Group Chief Operating Officer at Lombard International Group.

FIDx's platform enables distribution entities to provide protection and income solutions through direct integration with a range of insurance carrier partners. The platform also offers features to help advisors actively manage annuities for clients planning for, and navigating, retirement. These tools include an annuity dashboard with insights on upcoming events, opportunities, and daily valuations. In addition, FIDx's direct integrations with insurance carriers allow advisors to seamlessly research and compare annuities using up-to-date information and fully electronic application processing workflows, including suitability packet, eSignature, and home office review queue.
