After three years of conceptualizing, designing, architecting, and engineering an innovative retirement offering, Annexus Retirement Solutions (ARS) has been recognized for how it’s redefining retirement income with its patent-pending, innovative product Lifetime Income Builder. This new product, along with Annexus Retirement Data Exchange (ARDX), has been named a “Wealthies” finalist in Wealth Management’s Awards.

Putting Participants at the Center

“Many participants don’t know how to best secure their financial futures, and the industry hasn’t necessarily made it easy for them,” said Dave Paulsen, chief distribution officer at Annexus Retirement Services. “We at Annexus Retirement Solutions knew we could do better. Our product design philosophy is to put the participant at the center of everything we do, and in doing so, everything else falls into place.”

A Partner to Help Reimagine Retirement Savings

ARS selected Trility as their technology partner in 2020 to help ARS invent an asset class that reimagines retirement savings and create a technology platform that is flexible enough to meet stakeholder needs across the value chain. 

"The journey of working with the Annexus Retirement Solutions family has been a privilege. They have been clear about what they want to create from the beginning – a participant-centered, technology-enabled solution that creates retirement income surety for participants, and ease of integration for recordkeepers.” shared Matthew D Edwards, Trility president and CEO. “The leadership team is experienced, knowledgeable, and decisive, and that has made partnering with them, and building a new system from scratch, a great experience."

In addition to the Lifetime Income Builder, ARS, and Trility have architected and engineered the Annexus Retirement Data Exchange (ARDX), a proprietary middleware solution that streamlines data administration and transmission. ARDX provides a seamless interface for data calculating and transmission, making it easy for recordkeepers to administer TDFs with Lifetime Income Builder across all value chain partners.
