Research and methodology

AnnuityJournal.org sources rate data from AnnuityRateWatch, which surveys MYGA offerings from insurance carriers that continually offer competitive rates. We monitor rates daily across all available terms (2–10 years).

To identify the best rates, we evaluate carriers on: credited interest rate, AM Best financial strength rating, minimum premium requirement, surrender charge schedule, and free withdrawal provisions. Only carriers rated A- or better by AM Best are included.

Rates are updated every 6 hours. Rate availability varies by state — not all products are approved in every state. Always verify current rates directly with a licensed insurance professional before purchasing.

Rate Data Disclosure: Rate data sourced from AnnuityRateWatch, updated every 6 hours. AnnuityJournal.org is an independent publication — we do not sell annuities. Rates are from A-rated carriers (AM Best A-, A, A+, A++) only. Verify current rates with a licensed professional before purchasing.
