STANDARD OF CARE CENTER
Compliance Materials for Carriers and Distributors
Compliance with annuity and life insurance standard-of-care regulations (e.g., suitability, best interest, fiduciary issues) just got A LOT easier!
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You have just read the latest standard of care regulation or proposal (be it fiduciary, best interest, or suitability), and you feel overwhelmed by everything you need to understand before you can create and implement a compliance program at your firm.
- You have spent countless hours in meetings and searching for information that will help, but you are frustrated that you can’t find the concrete information and tools to get started or evaluate your progress.
- The clock is ticking toward an effective date and you have a lot of work to do, but you don’t know what to prioritize or how to get started.
If it does, then you already know how hard it is to get quality regulatory information and support.
That is why we created the Standard of Care Center
We have heard from firms just like you, struggling for understanding or going around and around in meetings trying to figure out where to start, only to be stuck and frustrated in pursuit of good quality resources thanks to:
- blog posts with little concrete assistance, or
- overly technical analyses of the regulations that do not help create a workable process and that leave you more confused than where you started, or
- consultants happy to let you spend a small fortune for their “solution” that doesn’t work for your firm.
That nightmare is now behind you!
Our Standard of Care Center is exactly what you need for your compliance program: clear explanations of the rules, training for your staff, advice on how to implement these standards, and support for your whole team.
Standard of Care Center membership benefits include:
- Access to understandable explanations of the many, different standard-of-care regulations and how they apply to your firm, whether you are with a carrier or a distributor.
- Use of the Center’s tools and resources to assist in implementing a compliance program in a timely way.
- Information that will help you minimize the time spent in meetings debating the best way to move forward.
- Guidance to help you gain the expertise needed to monitor and test compliance programs.
- Up-to-date information and . . .
much, much more!
