Delaware Life Featured in Barron’s List of 100 Best Annuities for Sixth Consecutive Year

Business Wire

ZIONSVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Delaware Life Insurance Company, a Group 1001 company, announces Barron’s has included the Accelerator Prime® Variable Annuity (“APVA”) in their “100 Best Annuities” annual list, marking APVA’s sixth consecutive appearance in the list. APVA was recognized for its income guarantees in the categories of both Single Life and Joint Life.

“We are honored to be included in Barron’s best annuities list for the sixth straight year. This achievement underscores the strength of our company and our commitment to providing innovative products that help secure the financial futures of policyholders,” said Delaware Life Marketing President and CEO Colin Lake.

Barron’s list of the 100 Best Annuities uses data from Cannex. Barron's compiled the 100 most competitive contracts based on investment goals and assumptions about an investor's age, gender, time horizon, and how much is invested. The annuities included in this list are issued by companies with an AM Best Financial Strength Rating of A- or above.

Everyone's situation is distinct and influenced by their specific goals and circumstances. It is essential to take each buyer's best interests into account before buying any annuity.
