Aspida launches DreamPath RILA

Aspida has introduced the Aspida DreamPath Registered Index-Linked Annuity (RILA), designed to combine market-linked growth potential with built-in downside protection. The product allows clients to choose from fixed interest or four market indices — Nasdaq-100, S&P 500, MSCI Emerging Markets, and Russell 2000 — along with buffer or floor options that limit losses or cap downside risk.

The annuity’s Performance Lock feature enables clients to lock in gains or mitigate volatility through Aspida’s online portal, with options for manual or automated activation. DreamPath also integrates with Apple Wallet, allowing policyholders to view contract values in real time on their iPhone or Apple Watch — a first among annuity providers.

Aspida, a subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation, continues to expand its technology-driven retirement solutions portfolio. The Durham-based company reported $25.8 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2025, reflecting its growing position in the life and annuity market through a combination of innovation, risk management, and digital experience.
