                                       With an aging population, government provided social insurance systems

                                       running low on funds and continuing low interest rates, annuity sales are

                                       struggling.  In addition, regulators are requiring more capital to be held on

                                       products with guarantees making returns on these products marginal.  A

                                       prominent distributor, major annuity writer and elite product developer will

                                       discuss new and innovative products ideas that could change the market.
