About Annuity FYI -- AnnuityFYI is devoted to educating investors and financial professionals about annuities. Annuity FYI was launched in November of 2000 and since then has become the nation’s most respected resource for learning about, comparing, and selecting annuities.

There are over 2,000 insurance companies in the US offering more that 15,000 annuity products. Most of these are just plain poor investments, with high fees and commissions. We believe that fewer than 2%, or 300 of them, are potentially exceptional investments worthy of your consideration. Our mission is to seek out the very best annuities and annuity riders among the thousands of products in the marketplace, and give investors the expert resources necessary to make an informed annuity purchase.

Our Annuity FYI Experts are always a phone call away to answer your questions, and are trained to qualify your needs, goals, and risk tolerance; direct you to annuities that are best-in-class and suited to your needs, and help you avoid annuities that are not in your best interest; recommend the best product(s) based on your individual needs. If you are already working with a financial professional who does not specialize in annuities, Annuity FYI can work with the advisor to recommend the most suitable annuity. If you are not working with a financial professional, Annuity FYI can refer you to an Annuity FYI-approved financial advisor who can oversee the investment of an annuity; service your needs on a regular basis to be sure your investment goals are aligned with your annuity portfolio, including regular review of your portfolio and notification of outstanding annuity investment opportunities and special offers.

Variable annuities, and some fixed annuities, are generally considered long term investments, sold by prospectus only, and available from your financial professional. This is not a solicitation to buy or sell. Before investing or sending money to any financial professional, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity (and certain fixed annuities) and its underlying investment options. The current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses provide this and other important information and should be read carefully before investing. All guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Withdrawals are subject to income tax and prior to age 59 1/2 a 10% federal penalty tax may apply. Not all annuities and riders are available in all states or through all broker-dealers. Contact Annuity FYI at 866-223-2121 to speak with an Annuity FYI Expert. Annuity FYI Experts are Annuity FYI-endorsed qualified Financial Advisors and/or Licensed Agents, who will in turn send you free of charge and at no obligation the prospectus and additional annuity information. Please note that any annuity information requested through an Annuity FYI-endorsed Financial Advisor and/or Licensed Agent before qualifying risk and suitability, will not include an application.
