About Jason Caudill, MBA
Jason Caudill is the founder and president of My Annuity Store, Inc., an independent annuity brokerage that helps consumers compare rates and products from dozens of insurance carriers. He holds an MBA and is licensed to sell annuities in 47 states.
Because My Annuity Store is independent and not captive to any single insurance company, Jason can offer unbiased analysis of the annuity marketplace. He regularly advises pre-retirees and retirees (typically ages 55 to 75) on fixed annuity strategies, with a focus on MYGAs, income planning, and tax-efficient growth.
Jason is a practitioner first. He works with real clients placing real money into annuity contracts every week, which gives him a ground-level view of how rate changes, carrier moves, and regulatory shifts actually affect consumers.
My Annuity Store publishes daily-updated annuity rate data, serves over 4,000 newsletter subscribers, and maintains one of the largest independent annuity rate comparison tools online.
