Jackson National Life Insurance Company is adding another type of fee-based annuity.
The Denver-based unit of Prudential PLC has introduced the Elite Access Advisory variable annuity contract.
The contract is a fee-based, investment-only variable annuity contract. An IOVA offers the same kinds of investment options as a traditional variable annuity contract, without any principal or income guarantees.

Jackson National has designed the fee-based IOVA contract to eliminate mortality, expense and administration charges. Instead, the annuity holder pays a contract charge of $10 per month. The contract comes with a three-year surrender period.
Jackson National introduced a traditional fee-based variable annuity, the Perspective Advisory contract, in September.
The company introduced an IOVA contract with a traditional compensation structure in 2012.
