Jackson posts $2.3 billion record RILA sales in Q2 2026 as retail annuities rise 34%
AI Market Summary
Jackson's record Q2 2026 annuity sales, led by surging RILA demand, underscores a sustained shift among near-retirees toward buffered equity participation and principal protection amid sequence-of-returns concerns. LIMRA's expectation for US RILA sales to exceed $85B in 2026 highlights broader industry momentum and reinforces a structural bid for high-quality, long-duration fixed income and hedged equity-linked exposures. Jackson's strong capital metrics support counterparty confidence.
