What this example means
This answer uses current CANNEX data delivered through AdvisorWorld. It keeps each issuing carrier separate, counts each product once, withholds conflicting ratings, and excludes FIA products identified as RILA.
The product count is not a carrier’s complete lineup and the order is not a recommendation. Use the live permalink to rerun the same hypothetical premium, state, family, MYGA term, and AM Best threshold as feeds change.
