Please remember that even if an annuity ranks low it does not mean it is a bad product or benefit, it is meant to compare each contract against its peer group. Each state may have a different variation of the products presented here. Please check with each company to insure that the benefits are available in your state.

Variable annuities, and some fixed annuities, are generally considered long term investments, sold by prospectus only, and available from your financial professional. Before investing or sending money, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity (and certain fixed annuities) and its underlying investment options. The current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses, which are contained in the same document, provide this and other important information and should be read carefully.
