Lincoln National Corporation (LNC) has launched the LVIP American Funds Vanguard Active Passive Growth Fund, an investment option available exclusively through its American Legacy and Lincoln Investor Advantage variable annuities. This fund combines strategies from Capital Group and Vanguard to provide a balanced approach aimed at long-term, diversified growth.
Capital Group manages $2.8 trillion in assets and employs a research-driven investment approach, while Vanguard offers a variety of cost-efficient index-based products. The fund is designed to manage downside risks while maximizing upside potential, an increasingly important feature according to financial advisors, especially amid market volatility.
The introduction of this fund is timely, as LNC’s variable annuity sales increased by 33% year-over-year in Q1 2025. The company’s shares have risen by 6.3% over the past six months, compared to the industry growth of 3.3%, and LNC currently holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
