Over the past 2 years, about one-third of independent insurance producers have given up their Series 6 licenses.
Researchers at LIMRA International, Windsor, Conn., have reported that finding in a summary of results from a new independent producer survey.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., Washington, issues Series 6 licenses to producers who want to sell mutual funds and annuities.
