S.2059 would repeal Rule 12b-1 fees. NAIFA supports the continued payment of fees under SEC Rule 12b-1 to broker-dealers and registered representatives as compensation for providing continuing service to their mutual fund-owning clients. FINRA Notice to Members (NTM) 05-50 recommended that its member broker-dealers supervise Equity Indexed Annuities sales made by the b/d's reg. reps. in the same manner as if the EIA were securities. NAIFA believes NASD has overstepped its authority. SEC issued a new Proposed Rule (Release No. 33-8933, File No. S7-14-08) that would classify certain indexed annuities as securities by creating a new Rule 151A that would change the treatment of indexed annuities under the insurance products exemption found in Section 3 (a) (8) of the Securities Act of 1933. NAIFA opposes adoption of Rule 151A.
