Insights

Corebridge Financial's launch of the MarketLock® Annuity, a registered index-linked annuity (RILA), is a significant move that positions the company as the only top 3 annuity provider with products in every major category. This diversification strategy is likely to strengthen Corebridge's market position and appeal to a broader range of investors.

The RILA market has been experiencing rapid growth, with record sales for five consecutive quarters. By entering this market, Corebridge is tapping into a high-demand product segment, which could potentially boost its revenue and market share. The exclusive Lock Strategy feature, which automatically secures gains when preset growth targets are reached, differentiates MarketLock from competitors and may attract investors seeking more control over their returns.

With 20 different strategy account options and customizable features, MarketLock offers flexibility that could appeal to both financial professionals and their clients. This product launch aligns with the increasing demand for retirement solutions that balance growth potential with downside protection, especially among younger generations like Gen X and millennials.

While the impact on Corebridge's financials remains to be seen, this product launch positions the company well in a growing market segment and could contribute positively to future earnings.

The launch of Corebridge MarketLock® Annuity is strategically timed to capitalize on the growing popularity of Registered Index-Linked Annuities (RILAs) in the U.S. market. RILAs have shown exceptional growth, outpacing other annuity product categories for five consecutive quarters. This trend indicates a shifting consumer preference towards products that offer a balance of growth potential and downside protection.

Corebridge's entry into the RILA market with a product featuring both exclusive and popular investment strategies could potentially disrupt the competitive landscape. The Lock Strategy, in particular, addresses a specific market need for more control over investment gains, which could be a key differentiator in attracting both financial professionals and end-consumers.

The product's design, catering to concerns about inflation, healthcare costs and market volatility, aligns well with current market trends and consumer anxieties about retirement planning. By offering 20 different strategy account options, Corebridge is positioning itself to capture a wide range of investor profiles and risk appetites.

This product launch, combined with Corebridge's existing portfolio, could potentially lead to increased market share and strengthen the company's position in the competitive annuity market landscape.

Corebridge MarketLock Annuity features an exclusive new accumulation strategy, along with many of the most popular RILA investment options in the market

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corebridge Financial today announced the launch of Corebridge MarketLock® Annuity, a registered index-linked annuity (RILA) issued by its subsidiary American General Life Insurance Company. MarketLock features a powerful accumulation strategy exclusive to Corebridge, as well as many of the most popular RILA investment strategies sought by financial professionals and their clients. All the investment strategies in the Corebridge RILA offer growth potential and a level of downside protection.

With its new RILA, Corebridge has added to its expansive suite of retirement solutions to become the only top 3 annuity provider with products in every major category—fixed annuities, index annuities, variable annuities and now registered index-linked annuities.1

“We recognize how essential it is for financial professionals to have a single trusted annuity provider that can help them meet the diverse retirement needs of all their clients. With MarketLock, Corebridge is expanding on what is already one of the broadest and most comprehensive annuity platforms in the industry,” said Bryan Pinsky, President of Individual Retirement at Corebridge Financial. “As more Gen Xers and millennials start planning for retirement, annuities and especially RILAs have become increasingly important in diversifying investment portfolios and helping to deliver growth potential with some downside protection.”

RILAs are growing in popularity across the U.S. annuity market, having set new sales records for five consecutive quarters and significantly outpacing sales growth in other annuity product categories.2 The increasing use of RILAs by financial professionals and their clients is a result of the effectiveness with which these products can provide upside potential with a level of downside protection to help tackle retirement challenges like inflation, rising health care costs and market volatility.

The new MarketLock RILA includes a powerful investment strategy exclusive to Corebridge. This Lock Strategy is the only available RILA strategy account option that locks and credits a rate based on actual S&P 500® index performance on the day the preset growth target is reached, securing these gains automatically and immediately—even if the target is hit before the strategy term’s end date. After the gains are locked in, consumers are guaranteed a fixed rate of interest until the next contract anniversary, when they can transfer assets to any available MarketLock strategy account option. Growth targets for the Lock Strategy are 30%, 40% or 50% for 3-year terms and 50%, 75% or 100% with 6-year terms.

“As a longtime annuity pioneer, Corebridge is proud to bring our track record of success and innovation to the RILA space. Our Lock Strategy, with its convenience, ease-of-use and ability to lock in actual index performance, is a key differentiator that separates MarketLock from other RILAs with lock-in features,” said Tina Haley, Senior Vice President & Head of Product for Individual Retirement at Corebridge Financial. “What makes Corebridge MarketLock Annuity stand out is that we deliver this powerful new enhancement while also providing many of the RILA strategies that are already familiar to financial professionals. Having all this versatility packed into a single RILA is incredibly valuable in helping meet clients’ needs and goals in changing market environments.”

Corebridge MarketLock Annuity is highly customizable with 20 different strategy account options that include the exclusive Lock Strategy, as well as some of the most popular crediting methods in the industry, such as Cap (offers earnings potential up to a maximum percentage), Trigger (can guarantee a preset rate of return when index performance is 0% or higher) and Dual Direction (opportunity to generate positive returns in both up and down markets). With each strategy account option, MarketLock offers downside protection through a buffer that can help protect against potential loss up to a specified percentage. As an example, if the buffer is 10% and the index declines by 10% or less, then no losses are experienced. If the index drops by more than 10%, the buffer protects against the first 10% of that decline and losses are limited to only the amount that exceeds the buffer rate.

Corebridge has developed a range of high-impact interactive tools for financial professionals and their clients to demonstrate how each MarketLock strategy account option may perform across different market environments.

Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) are long-term insurance products designed for retirement. They are not a direct investment in the stock market. RILAs provide the potential for earnings to be credited based in part on the performance of the specified index with the potential for risk of loss of principal due to market downturns or fluctuations. The principal value and returns will fluctuate so that the value when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. RILAs may not be suitable or appropriate for all individuals.

Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges. Partial withdrawals may reduce benefits available under the contract, as well as the amount available upon a full surrender. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and if taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal tax may apply.
