Media Alert: Newriver To Moderate Discussion at NAVA Conference -- "Summary Prospectus is Here! What to Do, What to Know, When to Take Action"
Panelists from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, TowerGroup, Fidelity, Broadridge, K&L Gates, Dechert and NewRiver to review the benefits and requirements of the new Summary Prospectus Rule at the 2009 Operations and Technology Conference.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 16, 2009 --
What:
Presentation titled "Summary Prospectus is Here! What to Do, What to Know, When to Take Action" at the Association of Insured Retirement Solution's NAVA 2009 Operations and Technology Conference in Boston, Massachusetts.
NAVA, The Association for Insured Retirement Solutions, is the only organization dedicated to promoting the growth, acceptance, and understanding of annuity and variable life insurance products--America's fastest-growing insurance products.
Why:
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent Summary Prospectus Rule, which became effective on March 31, 2009, requires firms to deliver the summary prospectus in either print or electronic format and to make the longer "statutory" prospectus available to investors within a mouse click via layered disclosure.
This panel will explore the benefits and challenges posed by the SEC's new Summary Prospectus rule, which is effective today and for which all variable product fund investment options will have to comply in 2010. This new rule can potentially provide material savings for variable product issuers in disclosure costs, but to capture these savings will require new thinking. This enlightening session will discover the choices variable product issuers, their distributors, and fund companies have to make in order to yield the maximum benefit for their respective firms.
