Life & Annuity Insurers
A life insurance policy or annuity is only as secure as the insurance company
issuing it. Therefore, it is important to periodically monitor the financial condition
of each company with whom you have an investment at risk. The Weiss Ratings product
line is designed to help you in your evaluation.
Weiss Ratings tracks the financial safety of approximately 875 U.S. life and annuity
insurance companies each and every quarter. We then issue the Weiss Financial Strength
Ratings based on our analysts’ review of publicly available information collected by
the NAIC, and supplemented by data we collect directly from the companies themselves.
Weiss does not accept compensation from the companies it rates for issuing the ratings and does not allow companies to influence the ratings they receive or to suppress
the release of their ratings.
The Weiss Financial Strength Ratings have been proven to be the most accurate available
from any of the major rating agencies. In fact, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO)
validated Weiss' superior accuracy in its
Insurance Ratings study. So,
whether you are:
- considering the purchase of a life insurance policy;
- placing your money in an annuity; or
- advising clients about insurance and annuities...
the Weiss Financial Strength Rating can help you. For more peace of mind, be sure to
consult our free list of the strongest and weakest life insurers and the strongest and weakest annuity insurers in the nation.
