Jackson’s sponsorship of the Financial Planning web seminar series is part of a larger effort to educate advisers on alternative asset classes and investing strategies. In March, Jackson launched Elite Access, a new variable annuity that focuses on alternatives to provide the potential for greater portfolio diversification. Jackson has also hosted more than 100 educational road shows across the country with an emphasis on alternatives training.
“It’s clear that investing strategies are evolving to help meet the demands of today’s economic conditions,” said Jack. “Traditional assets are increasingly more correlated, causing a shift toward alternatives for better diversification and potentially higher returns. Educational programs and support are becoming a critical piece of this trend and Jackson is committed to taking a lead role in these efforts.”

Although asset allocation among different asset categories generally limits risk and exposure to any one category, the risk remains that management may favor an asset category that performs poorly relative to the other asset categories.. Some of those risks include general economic risk, geo-political risk, commodity price volatility, counterparty and settlement risk, currency risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, foreign securities risk, high-yield bond exposure, non-investment grade bond exposure, index investing risk, industry concentration risk, leveraging risk, market risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, real estate investment risk, sector risk, short sales risk, temporary defensive positions, and large cash positions.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Please remember that a Jackson annuity is intended to be a long-term, tax-deferred vehicle for retirement. An annuity's earnings are taxable as ordinary income when withdrawn and, if taken before age 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% additional tax. Variable annuities involve investment risks and may lose value.
