American National Group announced the launch of its first proprietary custom index, which will be paired with American National?s Strategy Index 10 annuity. Developed in collaboration with BNP Paribas, the Patriot Technology Index is designed to offer clients a unique blend of innovation, protection, and growth potential. The Strategy Index 10 annuity includes a flexible premium option, allowing clients to adapt their investment strategies over time with a 10-year surrender period.

This flexibility is crucial for meeting the evolving financial goals and needs of clients. Furthermore, the indexed annuity offers clients the option of allocating their investments across various strategies to diversify their portfolios. Available options include the S&P 500, S&P MARC 5%, Nasdaq, and the new Patriot Technology Index.

The Patriot Technology Index is comprised of U.S. large and mid-cap technology companies identified by the U.S. government as critical and emerging technologies that help to inform national security-related activities. This index provides clients with a unique investment opportunity, leveraging the strong performance of the U.S. stock market and the trend towards deglobalization. As the market shifts, U.S.-focused and U.S.-based companies are poised for considerable upside, making this a strategic addition to any portfolio.

The Patriot Technology Index offers exposure to U.S. companies with the potential to benefit from strategic investment in 14 critical and emerging technologies identified by the U.S. government and incorporates geostrategic risk ratings made possible through a collaboration with the teams at J.H. Whitney and Solactive.
