MassMutual Financial Group has launched a new IRA annuity rollover campaign that it says puts special emphasis on suitability.[@@]
The campaign, targeted to financial professionals, promotes sales of variable annuities through IRA rollover accounts while emphasizing product suitability.
Suitability, mandated by legislation in a number of states, obliges the agent to recommend only financial products that meet the customer's specific needs. The agent may be required to document that a given financial product is appropriate to those needs.
