Before an annuity product is sold, the agent selling the annuity needs to fulfill certain training requirements. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and state insurance departments establish and enforce these regulations to protect the best interests of consumers. The NAIC adopted the Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation in 2003, then was revised with enhanced standards in 2020. Producers will be required to complete training requirements prior to the solicitation of an annuity:
