Course Description:
Deferred variable annuities can be complex and difficult to understand for customers and in some cases the registered representatives who sell them. They offer the customer choices among a number of contract options and offer the customer the opportunity to choose from a large number of investment options. FINRA developed Rule 2330 (formerly NASD Rule 2821) to enhance your and your firm’s compliance and supervisory systems regarding deferred variable annuities. The rule is also designed to provide more comprehensive and targeted protection to investors who wish to use deferred variable annuities in their investment programs.

In this course, you will learn how the FINRA Rule 2330 applies to your business practices when recommending the purchase or exchange of deferred variable annuities to customers.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index. The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies.

This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts. The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.
