Annuity Pricing

Settlement annuity markets are competitive and highly efficient. Prices can and do change daily. It is your broker's job to manage pricing.

For any given plaintiff, annuity rates can vary widely between companies, but rarely vary much between the one or two most competitive companies. Retaining one's own broker assures competitive pricing. It pays to comparison shop annuity companies, but generally not settlement brokers. Most brokers access the same companies in this niche market and by law those companies must offer the same prices through all brokers.
