and read up on them in more detail.

Here's some of the larger ones for starters;

Pacific Life

ING

New York Life

The Hartford

John Hancock

Met Life

Disclaimer; I have sold a Pacific Life Annuity to a former client when I was a broker and I sold an ING one to my mother. The ING Annuity for mom is doing exactly what it was supposed to do, is doing fine and was purchased in late 2008 as the market was almost bottomed out.

Edit to add that I have no idea how the Pac Life one is doing as I am not privy to that persons account any longer!
