Description

In this course you will be introduced to terms and concepts used in connection with annuity contracts. Each new term is defined in the text and included in the Glossary. The concepts are explained and, where appropriate, are demonstrated through the use of examples.

At the conclusion of each lesson, a Chapter Review is presented to test comprehension of the material presented in the chapter. A response is given to each answer you select to the questions in the Chapter Review affirming the correct choice or explaining why the choice you selected was incorrect.

This information is important for agents selling annuity contracts to customers and for advisers assessing the appropriateness of an annuity contract for a client. An understanding of the operation, advantages and disadvantages of annuities and the methods used to determine their cash value will assist the agent and adviser to better serve consumers and help ensure that annuity contracts are recommended and purchased only when they are suitable to meet client needs.
