Company Information

Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Minnesota) is the U.S. arm of Allianz SE, the German global insurance and asset-management group — parent of PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, with trillions under management. That global scale, plus a Comdex of 96, puts Allianz Life among the very strongest carriers any independent agency offers, so financial strength is essentially off the table as a concern. The real consideration with Allianz isn’t strength — it’s product type: the company specializes in index-linked annuities, which are more nuanced than a single fixed rate.

Allianz Products

Current Fixed Annuity Rates

We don’t currently offer fixed (MYGA) annuity rates from Allianz. Allianz Life specializes in fixed indexed and registered index-linked annuities — its products are built around index crediting (caps, participation rates, spreads) rather than a single guaranteed rate.

Fixed Index Annuity Products

Allianz 222 Annuity — A long-term FIA with a two-year point-to-point crediting structure and a bundled income rider. Its Protected Income Value can grow through a 150%-of-interest-rate roll-up before income begins, making it a popular income-focused contract. Read the full Allianz 222 review.

Allianz 360 Annuity — A flexible FIA offering annual point-to-point, monthly averaging, and fixed-account strategies. The 360 suits buyers who want to diversify index strategies within a single contract.

Allianz Core Income 7 — A 7-year FIA with an integrated income rider and an upfront premium bonus, built for buyers approaching retirement who want a guaranteed income floor within the first decade. Read the full Core Income 7 review.

Allianz Benefit Control — An accumulation-and-income FIA that lets the owner adjust the balance between index credits and income-benefit growth over time. Read the full Benefit Control review.

Allianz Accumulation Advantage+ — An accumulation-focused FIA aimed at maximizing index growth, with a premium bonus and multiple crediting options. Read the full Accumulation Advantage+ review.

Our Verdict

4.7/ 5
Top-tier strength and the #1 name in fixed indexed annuities. Allianz Life carries A+ (AM Best), AA (S&P), and a Comdex of 96 — among the highest in the entire annuity market — backed by Allianz SE. For an index annuity (FIA or RILA) from a financially elite carrier, Allianz is the benchmark. It is not a plain-MYGA shop, and Weiss is the lone cautious voice at B-.

A strong fit if you…

  • Want a fixed indexed (FIA) or RILA from a top-rated carrier
  • Want index-linked upside with downside protection
  • Prioritize elite financial strength above all

Look elsewhere if you…

  • Just want the highest plain MYGA rate (different product)
  • Prefer to avoid index-crediting complexity
