Mission
The main work of the Annuity Disclosure (A) Working Group will be to review the NAIC Annuity Disclosure Model Regulation to improve the disclosure of information provided for annuity products, including indexed annuities. Disclosure is an important consumer tool which should be used in conjunction with the NAIC Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation to ensure a suitable product is purchased. The Working Group will review the disclosure model to ensure that it supplements the suitability model in the best possible way.
2009 Charge
Review and consider changes to the Annuity Disclosure Model Regulation (#245) to improve the disclosure of information provided for annuity products, both generally and specifically, and to provide insurers uniform guidance in developing disclosure information and documents and monitoring distribution thereof in order to better inform annuity consumers about the annuity product purchased and how it works. |
