Prudential recently launched Prudential SimplyIncomeSM — a new single-premium immediate annuity, or SPIA — within employer-based retirement plans administered by Fidelity Investments. Prudential is one of four insurers on Fidelity’s Guaranteed Income Direct platform offering an embedded distribution option for defined contribution plans like 401(k)s, 403(b)s and 457(b)s.

The SECURE Act of 2019 provided a “safe harbor” to make it easier for annuities to be included as options in employer-based retirement plans. This prompted the financial services industry to expand in-plan income offerings to address consumers who are concerned that they’ll outlive their retirement savings.

Ann Nanda, head of Future Growth Initiatives and Distribution Enablement at Prudential Retirement Strategies, notes that the collaboration with Fidelity helps expand access to retirement security for more consumers and aligns with a key Prudential business priority to deliver retirement income in brand-new ways.

“No one knows how long they’ll live, and it’s important for people to understand whether they will be at risk of running out of money in retirement,” she said. “Prudential SimplyIncome provides a new decumulation option for plan participants looking for a predictable retirement income solution, delivered through a streamlined, tech-forward experience on Fidelity’s Guaranteed Income Direct platform.”

The SECURE Act also required defined contribution plans to start showing workers the amount of lifetime income their account balances could generate in retirement. This new annual illustration requirement reframed the risk for plan sponsors beyond just customary investment metrics to bring more attention to longevity risk.

“Prudential SimplyIncome is an example of how we are co-creating innovative solutions for employer-based retirement plans, in this case working with a top plan administrator to bring a protected income option to plan sponsors and participants within a system they already know.” said Nanda. “It’s an additional option to complement the many great solutions that exist for individual retirement account owners outside of workplace plans.”
