Clearview introduces new annuities to platform

The firm says it added annuities from Challenger and CommInsure to its WealthSolutions platform.

Advisers and their clients now have access to annuities for retirement and investment planning, Clearview said in a statement.

“One of the biggest benefits we can deliver to advisers is to assist with efficiencies in their office, while ensuring they have access to all the relevant financial tools to meet their clients’ needs,” ClearView managing director Simon Swanson said.

“We are pleased to be able to offer convenient access to guaranteed income stream solutions.”

The launch of the annuities follows WealthSolutions’ upgrade to its popular implemented model solutions, with the addition of separately managed accounts (SMAs) to its investment platform in October 2015.
