ClearView adds annuities to WealthSolutions platform


Publicly-listed ClearView Wealth Limited has announced the inclusion of selected Challenger and CommInsure annuities on its full service wrap platform, WealthSolutions.
The company announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today that WealthSolutions had been upgraded to accommodate the changes in line with feedback from advisers.
ClearView managing director, Simon Swanson, pointed out that WealthSolutions had been one of the ‘early adopter' platforms in the market to offer annuities, and this meant that advisers and their clients now had easy and convenient access to annuities for retirement and investment planning.
The launch of annuities followed on from WealthSolutions' upgrade to their popular implemented model solutions, adding separately managed accounts (SMAs) to their investment platform in October last year.
