NAFA encourages states to evolve annuity suitability

In addition to the work being done at the federal level in response to and in support of various retirement reform measures, NAFA was heavily involved in the NAIC’s efforts to modify the Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation (#275) for the past three years. In support of enhancing consumer protection — without harming consumers’ access to the fixed annuity products and professionals that will help them secure guaranteed retirement income — NAFA is now working to encourage uniform adoption of the amended version of the regulation adopted by the NAIC on Thursday, February 13, 2020.

NAFA’s newest educational series seeks to break down specific features and benefits of these annuities in a way that anyone — regulator, legislator, journalist, agent or consumer — can understand. First, let’s take a look at how the point-to-point cap strategy works and why it’s a popular option available on many FIAs.
