My Annuity Store Named Top Multi-Carrier Annuity Platform for Second Consecutive Year

REDPRESSWIRE— My Annuity Store, an independent annuity brokerage and consumer research platform, has been named the exclusive recipient of Insurance Business Review’s “Top Multi-Carrier Annuity Platform 2026” award for the second year in a row. The recognition follows a review of the platform’s comparison tools, rate data and research resources, as well as an interview with founder Jason Caudill.

“Being named the top multi-carrier platform two years in a row validates the long game,” Caudill said. “We named our platform My Annuity Store on purpose. We wanted to build a marketplace where people could buy an annuity, not be sold one. Retirees are making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, and they deserve to do it with clear eyes and every option on the table.”

The award recognizes a mission Caudill set out on six years ago: to build a comprehensive annuity information portal available to the public, allowing consumers to compare fixed annuity rates and conduct their own research before speaking with a salesperson.

“Annuities are one of the most important purchases a retiree will ever make, and for a long time the only way to get real numbers was to sit through a sales pitch,” said Caudill. “We wanted to flip that. Everything we’ve built over the past six years comes back to one idea: clients shouldn’t have to be a lead before they can learn.”

Seventeen Calculators, Built From Experience

At the heart of the platform is a suite of 17 annuity calculators, each designed by Caudill and drawn from his 20-plus years distributing annuities. The tools cover fixed and multi-year guaranteed annuities, immediate income, deferred income and future income planning, allowing visitors to enter their age, state and investment amount and receive current rate information based on their inputs.

The calculators are backed by a normalized multi-carrier database covering more than 90 insurance companies and 1,500 annuity products, with rates updated through carrier data feeds. Visitors can compare up to three products side by side across rates, guarantees, surrender schedules and income features.

“Every calculator on the site exists because a real client once asked a question I couldn’t answer with the tools that were out there,” Caudill said. “So we built them ourselves. Six years later, there’s still nothing else like it.”

Transparency as the Standard

My Annuity Store requires no registration to access its research. Carrier brochures — more than 300 of them — financial strength ratings for 791 insurers and educational resources are all freely available. Commissions are disclosed publicly on individual product pages.

The approach has changed how consumers use the site. Average visitor sessions have grown from roughly 90 seconds to nearly five minutes, platform traffic is up approximately 300 percent since the start of the year, and more than 200 customers have returned for additional business, according to the company.

What’s Next

The company is continuing to expand the portal with interactive learning courses, quizzes and video guides, with a particular focus on making indexed annuities easier for retirees to understand. Andy, the company’s AI assistant, uses its product database and carrier documents to answer product and state-specific rate questions with cited sources.
