Dear Working Group Members:

The Fixed Annuity Consumer Choice Campaign (FACC Campaign)* was originally organized to address issues impacting fixed annuities in connection with Department Labor (DOL) fiduciary rule. While we were very pleased to see the Fifth Circuit strike down the DOL fiduciary rule, we are deeply concerned that state and federal regulators are now rushing to fill what they may perceive as a vacuum, thereby perpetuating inherent flaws and false justifications of the DOL fiduciary rule that led to its demise.
