New Question on Suitability Form 15510

We’ve updated our suitability form with a question that asks why a client wants to exchange or replace an annuity. Because replacements are highly regulated, we must determine that they are in a client’s best interest. This question helps us do so.

Clients can choose from several reasons, but the more detail you provide, the better.

Look for section B, question d., which asks, “What is the reason for the exchange or replacement?”

Suitability form 15510 new question

Make sure you’re using our current forms to ensure a streamlined application process:

  3. Choose the Find Forms and Materials button to search for the forms you need for each application.

Transition Rules

We’ll continue to accept the older version of Form 15510 until June 1, 2020. Starting June 2, we’ll require the new version.
