Source: CANNEX Financial Exchanges via AdvisorWorld, as of 2026-09-16. Rates vary by state, premium band, and issue age. Standard FIA cap, participation, and performance-trigger tables rank recognizable public benchmark indexes only, and only within a single index plus crediting-term cohort. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability, not FDIC insured.

Latest annuity reviews
All reviews →Annuity rates: FAQ
What annuity rates are shown?
Annuity rates vary by product type, term, state, and carrier. This page shows MYGA guaranteed rates and fixed indexed annuity crediting metrics from CANNEX, with the true source date and carrier ratings next to the data.
What are the best annuity rates?
The top guaranteed MYGA rate in the source is shown with the carrier and AM Best rating. Fixed indexed annuity caps and participation rates are labeled separately because they are crediting metrics, not guaranteed fixed rates.
How are annuity rates set?
Fixed MYGA rates are declared by the carrier for a guarantee term. Fixed indexed annuity outcomes are governed by caps, participation rates, spreads, indexes, and crediting periods, all of which can change.
Are annuity rates going up or down?
Rates move as carriers reprice. The rate-movement module shows recent public changes detected from the CANNEX daily refresh when available.
