CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Great American Life® announced a partnership with Quovo to integrate data for its fee-based annuity with the industry-leading account aggregation service.
Hundreds of investment advisory firms and thousands of advisors use Quovo to connect account data from over 14,000 financial institutions to gain a holistic view of their clients’ financial portfolios. This partnership enables advisors to access product details and in-depth strategy values for Great American Life’s suite of fixed-indexed annuities, including the Index Protector 7 – the #1 selling fee-based fixed-indexed annuity.
The Index Protector 7 offers benefits that might be missing from an investment portfolio, such as principal protection, tax-deferred growth and lifetime income options. With this new partnership, the Index Protector 7 can be displayed on many popular fee-based platforms that are used for portfolio management, reporting and billing. Additionally, Great American’s data can be displayed within various Turnkey Asset Management Programs (TAMPs).
According to Tony Compton, Vice President B/D and RIA Sales, Great American Life, the partnership comes at an opportune time.

We’re pleased to partner with Quovo to provide enhanced data, which will ultimately make it easier for advisors to offer their clients a solution that offers competitive growth opportunity without downside risk,” said Compton. “Partnerships like this allow Great American Life to function more seamlessly in the Registered Investment Advisory space.”
