Some security regulators are making it sound as if there have been a
legion of enforcement actions against producers that selling index
annuities, how many NASD enforcement actions have their been against index
annuities?
Arc: One. A comprehensive review of NASD Notice to Members for
2004, 2005 and 2006 found exactly ONE enforcement action mentioning index
annuities (NASD Case #E1020040957-01). The case involved a representative who was fined
$10,000 and suspended from the NASD for two years for selling an index
annuity not approved by the NY insurance department to a New York
resident and saying the sales occurred in Florida.
