The NAIC recently proposed the adoption of a revised Annuity Suitability Model Law. Separately, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a proposed rule package in May 2018, which included Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI). The SEC finalized Reg BI in June 2019. The final Reg BI establishes a best-interest standard of conduct for broker-dealers beyond the existing suitability obligation that applies to federally registered variable annuities.

Rates for Elite 5 Annuity, Platinum Assure Series, and Ultimate One Index Series have changed effective April 28, 2023. New contracts issued on or after April 28, 2023, will receive the new rate.
