Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (Jackson®), the main operating subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc.ⁱ (NYSE: JXN), today announced a new annuity program – AARP® Annuity Program from Jackson, an exclusive offering created for AARP members. Through the program, AARP members will have access to a distinct set of Jackson annuities and educational resources designed to help support financial security and retirement confidence. The initial launch of the program is expected on November 16, 2026, in 10 states, with broader availability targeted during the first half of 2027. The program advances Jackson’s growth and diversification strategy and expands consumer access to annuities.

“This program reflects Jackson’s continued focus on growth, diversification and meeting consumers where they are in their retirement planning process,” said Alison Reed, EVP, Head of Distribution, Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD), the marketing and distribution business of Jackson. “By providing AARP members access to the program, we have an opportunity to expand access to Jackson’s annuity products to consumers who are not yet working with a financial professional, helping more Americans prepare for a financially secure future.”

“The addition of Jackson’s annuity products as an AARP member benefit advances AARP’s goal to empower people to choose how they live as they age.

The new AARP Annuity Program from Jackson provides a program to help AARP members meet their financial needs in retirement. We are pleased that Jackson is able to offer AARP members an annuity program,” said Jeff Gaboury, Senior Vice President of Financial Products, AARP Services.
