Learning Objectives

This course requires a basic understanding of annuity products in order that students can jump immediately into the EIA investment vehicle. Students will acquire a level of comfort to apply when selling the EIA product to clients. The evolution of the EIA is explained, as well as the unique and possibly misunderstood, elements to the EIA.
