BNY Mellon's Pershing Teams Up with Pacific Life to Provide RIAs with Streamlined Access to the Carrier's Fee-Only Annuities – Business Wire

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Life today announced a new collaboration with BNY Mellon’s Pershing to make its fee-only annuities available to registered investment advisors (RIAs) and their fee-only advisors while providing a streamlined portfolio-management experience. Products included are Pacific Advisory Variable Annuity, Pacific Odyssey®, Pacific Index Advisory®, and Pacific Harbor—all designed to help RIAs meet a variety of clients’ needs.

“We’re proud to collaborate with Pershing, one of the industry’s most prominent custodians,” said Jeremy Couch, director of advisory integration services in the Retirement Solutions Division at Pacific Life. “RIAs can access Pacific Life’s advisory-centric products through Pershing and also get a real-time view of those annuities alongside their clients’ portfolios within a single advisor workstation. Direct account data feeds have eliminated barriers to annuities and give advisors the account information they need at their fingertips, easing time and administrative burdens.”

Pacific Life’s dedicated RIA team, Pacific Life Advisory, is focused on creating competitive, fee-only annuities and helping fee-only advisors 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.
