Annuity Company Financial Ratings
Insurance companies are assigned financial ratings issued by rating agencies. There are four main rating agencies, however, A.M. Best is the most used and recognized financial rating for insurance company.
Financial ratings are important because they are an indicator of an insurance companies claim paying ability.
We’ve already done much of your due diligence for you and have vetted out many lesser rated companies whom we are not comfortable recommending to our clients. Typically, the lower the financial rating the higher the guarantees and interest rates will be but we always suggest you keep financial ratings in mind as a consideration. In order for an insurance company to list their annuity products on our marketplace they must be rated at least a B++.
