How to read this comparison
Compare the carrier, then the contract.
A carrier comparison narrows the field; the product pages carry the surrender schedules, state availability, and rider mechanics that decide the actual fit.
Financial strength
Annuity guarantees are only as strong as the insurer behind them, so AM Best ratings appear beside the rates.
Rate context
MYGA winners use the same guarantee term on both sides. First-year or step rates can still be inspected by product, but never decide a cross-term carrier verdict.
Lineup depth
Product counts reflect the dated rate feed, a proxy for shelf breadth rather than a complete catalog.

Disclosures and sources
Carrier and product figures are sourced from CANNEX via AdvisorWorld and labeled with their true source date. Comparisons are shown only for product types both carriers sell in the dated data; missing applicable values show unavailable.
The verdict is auto-generated from the displayed dated metrics only and is not a recommendation. MYGA rate winners compare the same guarantee period on both sides; a higher first-year or step rate is not ranked against a longer guarantee term. Product counts describe the dated feed, not every contract each carrier issues.
Rates vary by state, premium band, guarantee term, and issue age. Caps and participation rates can change. Annuity guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC-insured. Educational only.
