Advisory Support Team

Our Advisory Support Team is here to help independent and affiliated advisors connect to the full breadth of Allianz support, including connecting advisors with our Retirement Consultants, who can provide them with access to, and education on, Allianz® fee-based annuities.

This team can also connect advisors to our RIA Concierge Desk or an outside insurance licensing partner if there is an insurance gap, and the Fintech Consulting Team for annuity modeling and platform/data integration support, annuity review support resources, and more.
