Who Governs Life Insurance Companies? 
That is a great question ! There are several Government bodies that regulate some or all of an insurance companies dealings . The SEC watches over securities and variable annuity transactions , FINRA is a watchdog , and the States all have Departments of Insurance that monitor our activity . The States ' insurance commissioners arealso part of a national group . There are a lot of eyes on our insurance money , and where it goes . Thanks for asking !
