John Hancock Annuities has launched its new Web site, http://www.jhannuities.com, which offers content-rich features and retirement and investment education, along with interactive tools and expanded services for financial advisers.

"The exciting new features on our redesigned Web site reflect our commitment to providing the best possible products, services, and support to our financial adviser partners and retail clients alike," says David Longfritz, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for John Hancock Variable Annuities. "We are pleased to offer this new tool in order to help advisers help their clients make the right choices in planning for a secure retirement."

The new Web site is easier to navigate, with a more engaging, interactive design, according to Mike Treske, president, financial planners, for John Hancock Variable Annuities. "In keeping with our ongoing focus and demonstrated expertise in the $5 trillion IRA rollover marketplace, financial advisers and their clients will find educational tours and calculators that are focused on both retirement and investment-related issues," he says.

Features on the individual investor client site include a What's Your Number calculator, which is an easy way to determine whether an investor has enough money to cover fixed expenses in retirement. Clients also will find a tour of lifestyle portfolios that reviews what Treske describes as "the emotional roller coaster" of investing. In the new Learning Center, clients will find articles and interactive modules designed to educate and assist them with retirement, investment, and annuity concepts.

Advisers now will have the ability to personalize and track favorite John Hancock Annuities portfolios on their home page. In Sales Resources, financial advisers will have access to Wood Logan Academy, John Hancock Annuities' proprietary continuing education program where they can look up their individual state's continuing education requirements and view courses offered by John Hancock. Advisers also can access John Hancock's Special Markets team from this section for assistance with more complex financial planning situations.

The forms wizard section of the Web site is designed to help financial advisers access the appropriate forms for their state, product, and specific broker/dealer. Through a series of programmed questions, advisers will be directed to the appropriate forms necessary for their particular business case, reducing the chance of wrong form selection.
