BlueFrog (Affirm) Vs. Annuity Net

dude123 · 06-12-2009, 10:42 AM

I am doing a research project on the annuity industry and came across these two platforms as the main order entry systemss.

Curious if anyone has any opinion on either program, love it/hate it, hear good/bad things about one of them, etc.

Also curious about pricing and how much BlueFrog and Annuity Net cost?

Thanks!

Annuitynet seems to have a more proven track record. Blue Frog was BofA's foray into the annuity world and I have found it to be stil quite cumbersome. BUT, a lot may have changed in the six months since I last used either. Not sure about pricing, as I am on the wholesale side, but I do know that annuity net has been around a lot longer. I have heard many many more horror stories about blue frog than vice versa.
