Liquid Assets
A liquid asset is one that can be accessed in a short period of time without a penalty or loss of principal, e.g. checking/savings/money market accounts, short-term CDs, mutual funds, stocks/bonds, cash value of life insurance. Liquid assets DO NOT include the premium purchasing the annuity, qualified retirements accounts, or free amounts from other annuities.
Medical Coverage
When a client applies for an annuity, we need to know if the client has any other medical insurance coverage. Please inform us if a client is still working and has group coverage (such as a Rx plan, LTC policy, Med Supp or Veteran’s coverage) through an employer.
Surrender Charge
List separately by company each fee the client will incur, including any loss of value or bonus recapture.
Customer Identification Verification
In Section B, previous occupation is required. Leaving this field blank or listing "retired" will not be accepted. See the AML training section for more information on the CIV form.
