NexAnnuity expanded the availability of its fixed annuity products in 2022 to include California, Colorado, Louisiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, and South Dakota. As a result, its products are now available in 46 states and the District of Columbia.  NexAnnuity plans to expand its product offering to include a fixed index annuity and other fixed annuity products in 2023.

"We are pleased to receive these ratings from AM Best and look forward to building upon the progress we have made to enhance our retirement solutions business over the past several years," said Brad Heiss, Executive Vice President & Chief Investment Officer of NexAnnuity.
