Watch Now! |
---|
On July 18th 2018, the New York Department of Financial Services (NY DFS) issued a Best Interest Rule Regulation 187 that (re)defines the meaning of “clients’ best interests” for life insurance product recommendations effective February 2020. Regulation 187 prohibits illustration comparisons as due diligence for product and instead requires product recommendations be based on a careful, skilled, prudent, and diligent evaluation of costs, performance, and risks relative to benefits.
In this important, wide-ranging webinar, Barry Flagg reviews the Best Interest Rule that raises significant ethical considerations for estate planners and life insurance producers serving fiduciaries and/or working under a fiduciary definition of “clients’ best interests” both in and outside New York. In his webinar, Barry will cover the following topics:
- Product recommendations under NY DFS Best Interest Rule for life insurance
- Product Recommendations under the NAIC Illustrations Model Regulation
- Ethical implications for estate planning attorneys and life insurance producers
- Why insisting upon detailed expense pages is critical
- The importance of comparing compare costs and performance separately
- How to properly use benchmarking to analyze:
- Financial Strength & Claims Paying Ability
- Cost Competitiveness
- Pricing Stability
- Cash Value Liquidity
- Historical Performance of Invested Assets Underlying Policy
