In addition to Great American, the list of other companies offering products through the RetireOne program includes Allianz, Ameritas, Great-West Financial, Nationwide, Symetra, TIAA and Transamerica.

Ed Mercier, the president of RetireOne, said in a statement that this might be a good time for RIAs and fee-based advisors to offer clients that can protect the clients’ principal against the effects of an investment market correction.
