Vermont Department of Financial Regulation Approves Legislation for Suitability in Annuity Transactions
Effective January 11, 2024, Vermont adopted regulation for suitability in annuity to require producers to act in the best interest of consumers.
Section 6 of the new regulation indicates insurers and producers are to act in the best interests of the consumer when a recommendation is made without placing the producer’s or the insurer’s financial interests ahead of the consumer’s interest.
