WASHINGTON, D.C. – “The House Financial Services Committee’s vote to advance the Registered Index-Linked Annuities Act (H.R. 4865) is a step toward giving consumers greater access to innovative products tailored to meet specific retirement needs,” said Wayne Chopus, IRI President and CEO. “Consumer demand for RILAs continues to accelerate because they can bring balance to retirement portfolios by allowing participation in market growth while reducing exposure to market loss, helping savers reach retirement goals. IRI will now work to bring this bipartisan measure to the House floor quickly.”
