Advisers can now generate quotes, submit new applications, and view their client’s Challenger annuity alongside other investments via the HUB24 platform. Advisers are also supported by Challenger tools, resources and calculators.

“Challenger annuities are a compelling product for retirees who want peace of mind around their income and spending. Making our annuities available via the HUB24 platform allows us to reach a wider range of advisers who are looking to ensure their clients’ can access secure income in retirement.”  

HUB24 Managing Director, Andrew Alcock commented: “Access to regular cashflow in retirement is generally a top priority for clients, so we are pleased to launch Challenger annuities on HUB24.  We are committed to continually enhancing the range of investment solutions available for advisers and their clients and to work with providers such as Challenger who are looking to expand their reach.” 

Mr Howes said growing the availability of Challenger annuities via investment and superannuation platforms is a key strategy to expanding Challenger’s distribution networks.
