Communications Regarding Variable Insurance Products

FINRA has several rules that apply specifically to communications involving variable annuities and variable life insurance policies.

• The communication must clearly describe the product as a variable annuity or a variable life insurance policy. Because of the differences between variable products and mutual funds, the communication cannot imply that the product is a mutual fund.
• The communication cannot indicate that the product is a short-term or liquid investment because variable products often come with surrender charges and penalties for early withdrawals.
• The communication must not exaggerate the safety of guarantees (e.g., guaranteed minimum death benefit or a guaranteed schedule of payments). After all, insurance companies can go out of business and not pay out claims. Nor can the communication guarantee an investment return or principal value or imply that an insurance company’

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I would like to say that Solomon test prep had the most varied and comprehensive test bank I have seen. The questions ranged in difficulty and the answer feedback was so detailed, that I felt that I was mastering concepts rather than trying to pin down certain facts in a question just to get the 'one,' answer. I saw many iterations of the sample examinations, and with the courage to keep clicking next and learning, I passed with a score I'm more than happy to claim. Also, the staff are very responsive. I'll be coming back.

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you and give you a good review. I actually found that your test questions were harder than the actual exam and the explanations and the ability to create tests of all of my wrong answers helped me focus on my weak areas of the exam. I passed the first time and don't believe I couldn't have done it without your test bank. Thanks again.

Just passed the Series 24 on my first attempt. Not an easy exam so put the time in. I used the Video Lectures and the Exam Simulator from Solomon. Great resources of information!

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.
