To sell fixed annuities the agent needs to be licensed in life insurance. A licensed life agent can also sell indexed annuities.
The exception would be if the agent was facilitating the purchase of the fixed annuity with existing stocks, bonds or mutual funds owned by the annuity applicant. In that situation, the agent would need some additional securities licenses to handle the sale.
