Annuity IQStop Wasting Time
repeating the same action over and over again, expecting a different result. This is what happens in the variable annuity world. People recommend the same product over and over again expecting it to answer many different situations.

We are here to help. We understand how difficult it is to keep up on all of the new information available, especially, without one central location to find the information! Hint: you are at the only location you need. Who has the time to research all of the annuity information available, besides us? Think about it this way-- did you know that:

• Roughly 85%, or more of all annuity sales go to the top 20 variable annuity providers?

• The average variable annuity provider has 4 different contracts? That means just the top 20 companies have about a 100 different contracts combined.

The average prospectus has over 200 pages. That is 800 pages, on average, per company, or 8,000 pages for the top 20 companies.

• Each contract and their fees are different and the benefits may behave differently?

• There is not any other place on the internet, or elsewhere, that offers what we have done? Let alone put all of the contracts’ data in one easy to use spot.

• Not all variable annuities are created equal and the differences can be staggering?

• Not all living benefits work the same way, even if they share a similar name?

• Any other variable annuity “comparison” site is trying to sell you a product? We are not selling you any products.(An easy way to tell is at the bottom of the page they have to list their broker/dealer information. Fixed annuity sites usually have no broker/dealer information as they are not registered products.)

• Making the right decision today can create a stronger financial security tomorrow?

Annuity IQ ends the confusion; we end the struggle to keep up with the information. You will find that the information is of tremendous value, updated frequently and easy to understand no matter if you are a broker or a consumer. Annuity IQ’s unique rating system will tell you if a contract is below average or great. It really is the ultimate cheat sheet for variable annuities

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.
