Annuity FYI’s Top Picks represent what we feel are the best annuities among the thousands of products in the marketplace today.
- The Fixed or Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity (MYGA) rate table is regularly updated with current top rates by contract period.
- Top income annuities, both Fixed Index and Variable, include products currently offering the highest income* payouts.
- Top growth products, both Fixed Index and Variable, are based on several factors, including company rating and benefits.
Rates can vary by state, age, spousal information, and other factors. Not all products may be available in all areas. For these reasons, we recommend requesting a custom quote or product information by clicking the button below each Top Picks table.
