Suggested Answer: D

If your client bought a variable annuity contract with a 7-year surrender period four years ago, you can tell him that even though there will be no tax consequences associated with the exchange, he'll have to pay the 5% deferred sales charge if he executes the exchange, and he'll be looking at a new, longer, surrender period-one of the less desirable features associated with bonus annuities.

The 5% sales charge is a big hit if he exchanges!

I’m pretty sure that if he goes through with the exchange, he’ll definitely face that 5% sales charge, which is a big factor to consider.

I feel like option B makes sense since the new annuity would likely have a longer surrender period, but I’m a bit confused about the tax implications.

I think I came across a practice question about surrender charges, and it mentioned that you still have to pay them when exchanging.

I remember studying that 1035 exchanges can be beneficial, but I’m not sure about the implications of the new surrender period.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky. I'll need to think it through carefully before selecting an answer.

I feel pretty confident that the right answer is A. Updating the plans to reflect the new risk information is the logical first step the program manager should take. The other options seem to be missing some important context.
