A Fund Administrator Gives its Web Site a Makeover

Jackson Fund Services has gone live with its redesigned Web site. The makeover forms part of an effort to raise awareness of the firm's offerings and be consistent with the look of its parent firm, Jackson National Life Insurance Company, said Mark Anderson, vice president with Jackson Fund Services.

The new Jackson Fund Services Web site, launched Friday last week, features the red-and-gray color scheme, horse head logo and the "Power of Long-Term Smart" tagline adopted by Jackson National Life a year ago. Jackson National Life unveiled its new Web site two months ago.

Jackson Fund Services is also distributing a marketing kit featuring the new look, Anderson said.

Of the total, 121 are funds managed by Jackson National Asset Management. Those funds have $26.3 billion of assets.
