What Wyoming law says

What your agent owes you

A producer recommending an annuity in Wyoming must act in your best interest, without placing their own or the insurer's financial interest ahead of yours.

Who regulates annuities in Wyoming

Fixed annuities are insurance products, so they are overseen by the state insurance department rather than by the SEC. The department licenses the carriers and the producers who sell them, and it takes consumer complaints.

The Wyoming guaranty association

Every state has a life and health insurance guaranty association that steps in when a member insurer fails. Coverage terms are set by state law and differ by state and by product. Contact the association directly for what applies to a specific contract.
