			<![CDATA[ Our second decade of service to the&nbsp; insurance industry has started the best way possible as we delivered on our&nbsp; core commitment to our customers to reduce costs. Our largest fee reduction to&nbsp; date went into effect on January 2 with the end of all file fees associated&nbsp; with insurance products. These fees had been linked to all of the older core&nbsp; products. With the end of file fees, customers will pay only per transaction&nbsp; costs for the services. The change is projected to deliver to customers across&nbsp; the board over $6 million in total annual savings. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ The much-anticipated Fund Transfers (FTR)&nbsp; service is in full-throttle pilot phase. The newest post-issue service in&nbsp; DTCCs family of Insurance Services provides automated processing of a fund&nbsp; reallocation within a variable insurance product, a function that addresses&nbsp; regulators concerns about unethical business practices in broker-initiated&nbsp; transfers of funds. It enables distributors to monitor rep-initiated transfers&nbsp; and reduces the risk of unauthorized transactions. ]]>
