Jackson(SM) Executive Vice President Clifford Jack to Deliver Chairman's Address at NAVA 2007 Annual Meeting

Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (JacksonSM) today announced that Executive Vice President Clifford Jack, incoming Chairman of NAVA, Inc., the Association for Insured Retirement Solutions, will be a keynote speaker at the trade association’s 2007 Annual Meeting in Boston. Mr. Jack will deliver his Chairman’s Address on Monday, September 10, and will also moderate a presentation entitled "Capturing the Income Market: Focus, Commitment and Innovation.” "My priorities as incoming Chairman of NAVA are threefold: streamline and standardize the annuity transaction process, improve public perception of the product and continue to have a productive dialogue with regulators,” Mr. Jack said. "NAVA’s strategic imperative is to ‘grow the pool’ for the annuity market, which means expanding the relevance of annuities to a broader set of advisors and investors in order to increase market share among alternative investment vehicles. In order to accomplish this, we must address cost and complexity concerns, educate regulators on product innovations and communicate the annuity’s value proposition with consistent, strong and defensible messages.” According to Mr. Jack, advisor and investor education will play an integral role in NAVA’s efforts to improve product perception and position annuities at the intersection of asset accumulation and income distribution. He believes that the key to the success of this initiative will be building educational programs that speak in plain English and focus on the value of the product to the investor. "We need to be as transparent as possible as it relates to product structure and cost, and proactively address perception issues caused by questionable sales practices and product features,” continued Mr. Jack. "Furthermore, we need to proactively position annuities as income solutions – guaranteed lifetime income is a valuable proposition for Boomer clients, and this should be the key theme for all of our educational efforts.” For more information on the NAVA 2007 Annual Meeting, please visit www.navanet.org.
