Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and Global Atlantic Financial Group have already agreed to offer annuities through the exchange.

Jackson — a unit of Prudential P.L.C. of London — had the biggest share of U.S. annuity considerations in the United States in 2017, with $19 billion in direct premiums and a 7.6% market share, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Jackson, Allianz Life and Global Atlantic had a combined share of about 13% of 2017 U.S. annuity considerations.

Envestnet is a Chicago-based financial tech company. The company's exchange offers variable, fixed, indexed, contingent-deferred and private placement annuities.

Jackson says it believes selling the advisory annuities through an exchange will help it provide consumers and advisors with a more modern user experience.
