Who you are working with

An independent, licensed annuity brokerage

We compare rates from 90+ top annuity companies and are licensed in 47 states. Your contract and your money are held by Guardian Insurance & Annuity Co., never by us.

How we are paid

You pay us nothing directly. The carrier pays 3.10%.

We are paid by Guardian Insurance & Annuity Co. when you make a purchase. Commission rates are updated periodically and subject to change.

In limited instances, My Annuity Store may receive higher compensation than the published commission rates based on achieving a certain level of sales volume or as a result of playing an expanded role in policy processing. This is an indirect cost to you, as it is already factored into the interest rate quoted.

Commissions may be slightly lower for individuals age 80 and older.
