New York, NY — Global Atlantic, a leading provider of retirement security and investment solutions and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KKR, has been featured in Barron’s annual guide to the 100 Best Annuities. This marks the firm’s fourth consecutive appearance in the guide, highlighting its commitment to innovation and financial security.

Income 150+ provides a 20% boost in Withdrawal Base for guaranteed income, a unique feature that offers immediate income benefits. Jason Bickler, Co-Head of Individual Markets for Global Atlantic, explained to Barron’s that investing $100,000 would immediately provide $120,000 as a base for guaranteed income [1].

This product offers buffer, floor, trigger rate, and dual directional strategies, providing clients with an element of risk protection and greater upside potential than traditional fixed income options [1].

The company aims to provide innovative solutions that help secure financial futures for millions of Americans. Emily LeMay and Jason Bickler, Co-Heads of Individual Markets at Global Atlantic, expressed their pride in being recognized for their products that meet evolving needs, such as funding early retirement, covering rising expenses, or having cash on hand [1].
