Pacific Life Announces Data Feed Into SS&C’s Advisory Solutions

Direct data feed simplifies the addition of annuities into clients’ overall financial picture.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Continuing the commitment to make it easier for registered investment advisers (RIAs) to integrate annuities into clients’ portfolios, Pacific Life announced that it is now providing annuity data to SS&C Technologies' Advent Custodial Data Network via the Pacific Life data interface.

RIAs and fee-based advisers can now access Pacific Life’s two advisory annuities, Pacific Odyssey® and Pacific Index Advisory®, using SS&C’s Black Diamond® Wealth Platform, APX and Axys. With the addition of Pacific Life annuity data, Advent Custodial Data users can benefit from a more holistic view of their clients’ portfolios and investments, simplifying the reporting and reconciliation process.

Pacific Life’s dedicated RIA channel team, Pacific Life Advisory, is focused on creating competitive, fee- based annuities and helping financial professionals incorporate them into their practices. Simplified technology integrations are a priority, and the company continues to team up with new custodians and insurance-licensing firms to make it as easy as possible to include annuities in clients’ portfolios.
