Twisting

Twisting is an insurance term for dishonest conduct in replacing insurance policies and traditional annuities by recommending the redemption of policies and using the proceeds to purchase a similar insurance policy or annuity with another company. It is similar in conduct to switching of mutual funds. Like churning and switching, these transactions may be for the purpose of generating commissions for the salesperson and may not be in the best interest of the customer.
