How to read this comparison

Compare the product job, not just one number.

Rates matter, but surrender terms, liquidity, rider mechanics, state availability, and carrier strength decide whether a product actually fits.

Rate context

Guaranteed rate and term are the first screen, but premium bands and surrender design still matter.

Control

Contract control shows up in surrender period, issue ages, state availability, and rider access.

Carrier backing

Guarantees are backed by the issuing insurer, so carrier ratings and product availability belong next to the rate table.

Disclosures and sources

Displayed product figures are sourced from CANNEX via AdvisorWorld and are labeled with their true source date. Product-specific values are shown only when they apply; missing applicable values show unavailable.

The verdict is auto-generated from the available accumulation metrics only and is not a recommendation. The crediting and guaranteed-growth tools are illustrative, use the stated assumptions, and are not projections, quotes, or carrier-approved illustrations.

MYGA rates vary by state, premium band, guarantee term, and issue age. Annuity guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC-insured. Educational only.
