Core Foundations of Allianz Advisory Solutions

Allianz Advisory Solutions is built on three core pillars:

Automated Risk Management Solutions

Allianz Life offers a growing suite of risk management strategies built to help advisors more efficiently plan for longevity, address portfolio volatility, and ultimately, help improve quantifiable financial outcomes for clients. Products span across a spectrum of practice models and partner affiliations and include annuities, life insurance, and AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs.

Advanced Strategies and Planning

This pillar encompasses a full range of support designed to help advisors address the uncertainties and risks associated with an increasingly challenging market environment. Fintech Services range from helping advisors model annuities in popular planning software to addressing complex cases on tax rules and new legislation, Social Security, and estate planning.

Technology and Platforms at Allianz Life

In an effort to help advisors seamlessly implement risk management into their unique planning and investment ecosystem, Allianz Life provides tech support to guide them through the process of establishing direct data feeds with many of the largest platforms in the industry.

Further, Allianz Life has developed strategic partnerships with Halo, LifeYield, and Vestwell through the Allianz Ventures program, providing access to leading-edge knowledge, tools, and capabilities in the financial industry.

Heather Kelly, senior vice president of Advisory and Strategic Accounts at Allianz Life and a 25-year veteran of the advisory community, will be leading the deployment of Allianz Advisory Solutions.

“We built Allianz Advisory Solutions to help advisors address some of the most important practice management challenges they are facing today, including the mitigation of risk associated with retirement planning,” said Kelly. “This trifecta of products, services, and technology, all supported by our strategic partnerships, is truly a platform for advisors that will not only help them demonstrate the value of risk management to their clients but also, enhance the value they deliver to clients and build a more sustainable practice for the long-term. With Allianz Advisory Solutions, we are truly meeting advisors where they live.”

The introduction of Allianz Advisory Solutions comes on the heels of the launch of AllianzIM’s Buffered Outcome ETFs, which are managed by Allianz Investment Management LLC, and debuted in June.
