The market for retirement planning products is
constantly evolving. The adaptability of the Lincoln Director group
variable annuity-based retirement product is perfect for meeting the
needs of this ever-changing marketplace. Director’s flexibility lets you
customize your retirement plan by combining
investing, servicing and pricing
options.
Investments
Introduced in 1999, the Lincoln
Elite Series
is the cornerstone of Lincoln’s broad range
of annuity, life insurance, and retirement products – all designed to
meet clients’ needs as they build their financial futures. This series
is a comprehensive multi-manager investment lineup designed by
top professionals at Lincoln Financial Group. Lincoln’s mission in
assembling and maintaining the series is to offer investors the options
that can help them protect and grow wealth for the long-term. In
assembling and managing the Elite Series, Lincoln’s investment
professionals employ a thorough due diligence process integrating both
quantitative and qualitative research and analysis.
Lincoln is proud to present the Lincoln
Elite Series
as the core investment lineup for the
Director product. Director’s diversified investment lineup provides you
and your employees an array of choices to create portfolios which have
the potential to cushion the variable returns of a somewhat
unpredictable market and help to keep pace with the varying needs that
arise from shifts in lifestyle or economic climate.

The servicing solution that fits one company may not
suit another. Director gives you a choice.
