Why Trust Annuity.org
Why You Can Trust Annuity.org
Annuity.org has provided reliable, accurate financial information to consumers since 2013. We adhere to ethical journalism practices, including presenting honest, unbiased information that follows Associated Press style guidelines and reporting facts from reliable, attributed sources. Our objective is to deliver the most comprehensive explanation of annuities and financial literacy topics using plain, straightforward language.

Our Partnerships, Vision and Goals

We pride ourselves on partnering with professionals like those from Senior Market Sales (SMS) — a market leader with over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry — who offer personalized retirement solutions for consumers across the country. Our relationships with partners including SMS and Insuractive, the company’s consumer-facing branch, allow us to facilitate the sale of annuities and other retirement-oriented financial products to consumers who are looking to purchase safe and reliable solutions to fill gaps in their retirement income. We are compensated when we produce legitimate inquiries, and that compensation helps make Annuity.org an even stronger resource for our audience. We may also, at times, sell lead data to partners in our network in order to best connect consumers to the information they request. Readers are in no way obligated to use our partners’ services to access the free resources on Annuity.org.

Annuity.org carefully selects partners who share a common goal of educating consumers and helping them select the most appropriate product for their unique financial and lifestyle goals. Our network of advisors will never recommend products that are not right for the consumer, nor will Annuity.org. Additionally, Annuity.org operates independently of its partners and has complete editorial control over the information we publish.

Our vision is to provide users with the highest quality information possible about their financial options and empower them to make informed decisions based on their unique needs.

Since its founding in 1965, Oxford Life Insurance Company has supported the senior market with life insurance policies and annuities. Through its subsidiaries, the organization also offers Medicare Supplement insurance to help cover medical expenses not paid by Medicare.

Credit Ratings

In August 2022, AM Best affirmed its financial strength rating for Oxford Life as A, reflecting the company’s recent annuity business growth. This scoring is the third highest out of AM Best’s 16 ratings.

Credit ratings are standardized evaluations of annuity providers’ financial stability. It’s important for consumers to research annuity and insurance companies’ credit ratings, as the companies should have proven soundness to cover and pay claims.

Annuity Products Offered by Oxford Life Insurance Company

Oxford Life issues fixed indexed annuities and multi-year guaranteed annuities. Annuity rates may vary depending on the product type, provider and location.

Fixed Indexed Annuities

Fixed indexed annuities are not directly exposed to the stock market, but they are tied to the performance of a specific stock index. If the index performs well, the annuity can grow. If the index experiences losses, the annuity has downside protection.

Oxford Life offers three fixed indexed annuity types:

Royal Select:
Immediate 8 percent accumulation value growth
Silver Select:
10 percent free withdrawal provision after first year
Select Series:
Choose a duration of three, five, seven or 10 years

Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs)

Oxford Life also issues multi-year guaranteed annuities, or MYGAs, which provide a fixed interest rate throughout a chosen time span — such as five years.

One Oxford Life product line offers this type of predictable income:

  • Multi-Select: Choose a duration ranging from three to 10 years
