How Has DOL Affected Your Annuity Business?

I don't write a ton of annuities, but it does look like the industry has taken a hit with the DOL. A few questions, any input would be helpful:

1. I saw one company's DOL form, and it looks like all commissions have to be disclosed. Surely that could be a turn-off for many clients. Is that for all EIA business, or just ERISA/IRA qualified money?

2. If it's for all business, can you write annuities with a trail, like 1%? And do most annuity companies offer that?

3. In what specific ways has the DOL affected your business?

Thanks!
