Broker/Dealer Issues

Producers with a valid insurance license may sell fixed, indexed, total return and immediate annuities through an insurance wholesaler that is not his or her broker/dealer. These annuities guarantee a fixed minimum return and are regulated by State Insurance Departments, are not securities and their sale requires only an insurance license.  Fixed annuities are not regulated by the FINRA (formerly known as NASD).

A few broker/dealers may require all sales, including fixed annuities, be through them. Check the agreement you have with your broker/dealer.
