On June 18, 2023, an investor alleged that they were questioning how Emil Babayans represented the sale of a variable annuity.

What is a Variable Annuity? 

Variable annuities are complex investments. They are insurance products that come with an investment component. The associated fees, surrender charges, and potential tax liability can negate any supposed benefits they offer. Furthermore, the risk associated with their investments makes them unsuitable for many investors.
