Dear Members of the Annuity Suitability Working Group:
We wish to comment briefly on the proposed Producer Relationship Disclosure form contained in Appendix A. We appreciate the Working Group may not be looking for additional comment but we are reacting to submissions by other interested parties which go to the premise of the form itself.
The Fixed Annuity Consumer Choice Campaign has been working hard to improve the NAIC best interest proposal for the benefit of independent agents. We have advocated changes to make the rule more objective in its requirements and more practical from an implementation and compliance standpoint.
Dear Ms. Matthews:
