Jack Kenney

Jack joined Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (WRL) in 1961 as an agent. He quickly became a General Agent in Dayton, Ohio and built an agency before moving to the Home Office in 1967 as National Sales Director. He was appointed President in 1978 and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1982. He spent over 40 years with WRL and InterSecurities (ISI). In 1985, he started the first multi-manager mutual fund known as IDEX. AEGON purchased WRL and IDEX in 1990.

In partnership with AEGON, Jack started a money management company in 2000. When the assets under management reached $1 billion he sold his interest to AEGON in 2006. Again, with AEGON as his partner, he started a business for them called Clearwater Financial Marketing. This operation is currently offering a Life Settlements program as well as a new product created by Jack and WRL called the WRL Benefactor.

Jack oversaw the formation and structure of TC&K in 2013 and serves as Chairman and Presiding Officer.

Jack is highly respected in the industry and has been a pioneer in the combination of life insurance, annuities and mutual funds.
