PIMCO Looks to Fill Retirement Income Void

PIMCO is teaming up retirement technology platform providers Aria Retirement Solutions and insurer Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company to market retirement income products to asset-based fee-only Registered Investment Advisors.

“For asset-based fee-only financial advisors, guaranteed retirement-income options have been few and far between,” stated David Stone, chief executive officer of Aria Retirement Solutions. “But RIAs now manage more than $1 trillion in client assets and they want solutions that fit their business.”

“Through Aria's patent-pending platform technology and sales/support services, RIAs can now refer appropriate clients to a lifetime income solution derived by pairing an insurance guarantee with a portfolio of PIMCO products managed by the RIA," stated Dave Paulsen, chief executive officer of Transamerica Capital.
