RetireOne, Midland National Announce Constance Enhancements to Bring Portfolio Income Insurance Solution to All Fee-Based Financial Advisors

Addition of 255 funds and models, new Portfolio Builder tool, and reduction in certificate fees among changes

RetireOne®, the leading platform for fee-based insurance solutions, and Midland National Life Insurance Company (Midland National), today roll out a number of enhancements to Constance – a unique, zero-commission portfolio income insurance solution designed expressly for RIAs.

The firms announced the addition of 255 mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and model portfolios to the lineup of investment options covered by Constance. Launched in October of 2021, Constance allows RIAs to wrap client brokerage accounts, IRAs, or Roth IRAs with lifetime income protection to combat longevity risk, while enabling advisors to continue to oversee client assets as they enter retirement and begin the decumulation phase.

Leading managers including Cambria Investments, Fidelity Investments, Inspire ETFs, Invesco, iShares, Nuveen and Schwab Asset Management combined to add 195 mutual funds and ETFs that are now available for investment under the protection of Constance, bringing the total to 390 total funds. Additionally, 60 new model portfolios have been added to the lineup, including strategies from American Funds, Delaware Funds, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Dynamic Wealth Management, Horizon Investments, Inspire ETFs, and WealthCare Capital Management.

“Retirement remains the primary goal for most investors, so leveraging Cambria ETFs to help investors ‘pensionize’ and protect retirement income via a contingent deferred annuity (CDA) is an important and novel step that we are excited to take with RetireOne,” said Meb Faber, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Cambria. “Exposure to Cambria ETFs and portfolio insurance within RetireOne’s Constance CDA can help position investors to more effectively manage longevity and sequence of return risks as they approach and enter retirement. At Cambria, we pride ourselves on innovating by providing uniquely useful ETFs, and seeing five of them offered within the Constance platform shows again how ETFs continue to find new roles to play in solving big problems for investors.”

Constance certificate fees have also been reduced to lower the cost of insurance. RetireOne’s CEO and Co-Founder, David Stone, explains, “As we build and evolve this unique portfolio income insurance solution, we want to make it as easy as possible for advisors to cover their preferred strategies in client portfolios. To that end, we continue to collaborate with our partner firms and RIAs interested in building durable sustainable income streams for clients to include those investment options.”

In addition to new investment options and reduced certificate fees, RetireOne has developed a new Portfolio Builder tool to help RIAs construct portfolios of publicly traded mutual funds and ETFs covered by Constance. By designing portfolios and determining their allocation percentages, advisors may better understand which coverages and Asset Allocation Tiers may best meets their clients’ needs.

Advisors who would like to learn more about how they can begin to leverage Constance for their clients can schedule a meeting, or call their RetireOne Relationship Manager at (877) 575-2742. For additional information, visit Retireone.com.
