General Insurance PrinciplesQuestion 603 of 716
Replacement regulations exist primarily to:
a.Automatically increase premiums on replaced policies
b.Prohibit every replacement transaction outright so that no existing policy may ever be exchanged for a newer competing one
c.Ensure the policyowner receives information to compare policies and is protected from an unsuitable replacement
d.Speed up the payment of producer commissions
Explanation
Replacement rules give consumers disclosures and comparison information so they are not talked into losing value on a poor replacement. They do not ban replacement outright, raise premiums, or speed commissions.
