NU Online News Service, Feb. 28, 4:59 p.m. – Lincoln National Corp., Philadelphia, is starting to use technology from AnnuityNet Inc., Herndon, Va., to distribute two variable annuities through the Web.
The brokerage arms of Merrill Lynch & Company Inc., New York, and Legg Mason Inc., Baltimore, will be the first broker-dealers to get their Lincoln variable annuities through the Web.
