Knighthead Life enters U.S. fixed indexed annuity market

Provider of retirement solutions Knighthead Insurance Group has launched two fixed indexed annuities, Chartline and Chartline Bonus, through its U.S. carrier Knighthead Life , marking its entry into the U.S. FIA market.

The products are positioned around guaranteed accumulation, with Chartline offering a minimum interest guarantee and Chartline Bonus including an upfront premium bonus. Both products also emphasize renewal rate consistency and access to multiple index options and model portfolios.

“Following the successful launch of our MYGA, Staysail, in 2025, we’re excited to continue our strong momentum and to introduce Chartline and Chartline Bonus to expand our U.S. offering. Knighthead Insurance Group has been offering fixed indexed annuities internationally for more than ten years, consistently providing competitive and reliable cap rates. This successful approach will be carried forward as Knighthead enters the U.S. fixed index market, reinforcing our commitment to providing purposeful retirement solutions to our clients.” – Edward Massaro, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Knighthead Insurance Group.

“Chartline and Chartline Bonus were developed to equip advisors with differentiated solutions aligned with the flexibility, protection and accumulation retirees seek. By focusing conversations and planning around these key pillars, advisors can solve client challenges with greater confidence, elevate their value and position themselves as long-term strategic partners.” – Michael Brandriet, Chief Distribution Officer at Knighthead Life.
