Life, Health, and Annuity Insurers Products

A life or health 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 TheStreet.com Ratings product line is designed to help you in your evaluation.

TheStreet.com Ratings tracks the financial safety of approximately 1,700 U.S. life, health, and annuity insurance companies each and every quarter. We then issue the TheStreet.com Financial Strength based on our analysts' review of publicly available information collected by the NAIC, and supplemented by data we collect directly from the companies themselves. Unlike the other major rating agencies, TheStreet.com does not accept compensation from the companies it rates, and thus does not allow companies to influence the ratings they receive or to suppress the release of their ratings. This has earned TheStreet.com Ratings its reputation as "America's Consumer Advocate for Financial Safety."

TheStreet.com Financial Strength 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 TheStreet.com' superior accuracy in its Insurance Ratings study. So, whether you are:

• considering the purchase of a life or health insurance policy;
• placing your money in an annuity; or
• advising clients about insurance and annuities...

the TheStreet.com Financial Strength can help you. For more peace of mind, be sure to consult our free list of the strongest and weakest insurance companies in the nation.
