How we know what's on this page

Rates, terms & availability
Annuity Rate Watch, which aggregates carriers' filed rate sheets. Refreshed every night.
Financial strength
A.M. Best. We publish the carrier's letter rating rather than a score of our own.
Contract detail
The carrier's own brochure — minimum guaranteed surrender value, death benefit, RMD treatment, annuitization options, waiver riders and free-withdrawal terms. Where the brochure and the rate feed disagree, the brochure wins: it is the filed document. Where neither carries a fact, the page omits it. We do not fill gaps with estimates.
