Episode 263 – Turning Volatility Into Opportunity with Kevin Jones



In today’s episode, Doug talks with Kevin Jones, Divisional Sales Manager at Lincoln Financial, about why fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) are gaining traction amid market volatility. With cash on the sidelines, record 401(k) balances, and the “Peak 65” retirement wave underway, Kevin highlights how FIAs offer downside protection, tax-deferred growth, and equity market exposure—making them a strong fit for today’s retirement portfolios.

Kevin also shares updates on Lincoln’s DRC 10 trigger strategy, which has delivered competitive returns and now includes a trigger lock option for added rate certainty. Looking ahead, Lincoln is expanding its FIA lineup with two new multi-year participation accounts. Beyond products, Kevin emphasizes advisor support through Lincoln’s Market Intel Exchange, a curated resource helping professionals educate and empower clients to make confident financial decisions.
