MetLife is Under Investigation for Variable Annuity Sales
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
MetLife Inc., the largest U.S. life insurer, is under FINRA’s investigation regarding the company's broker-dealer unit’s violations tied to variable annuities.
According to FINRA, the probe focused on potential violations “regarding alleged misrepresentations, suitability, and supervision in connection with sales and replacements of variable annuities and certain riders on such annuities.” And this investigation could lead to possible disciplinary action and potential fines from MetLife.
MetLife’s spokesman said in an e-mailed statement, “we strongly disagree with the conclusions reached by FINRA, and we will defend ourselves vigorously.”
