In a statement, DiVencenzo said that the group has been working to help members face the effects of low interest rates, the COVID-19 pandemic and changing regulations on the fixed annuity market.

“We continue to increase awareness of fixed and fixed index annuities as part of a financial plan and retirement income strategy for Americans,” DiVencenzo said.
