Three Generations in
Fixed Annuities.

At AnnuityRadar.com, fixed annuities are more than just our business — they have been a family affair for three generations.

After serving in the Vietnam War, my grandfather, George Shave Jr., founded George Shave & Associates in the 1970s. The firm worked with financial professionals across the country, helping them understand and offer fixed annuity solutions to their clients.

In 1997, my father, David Shave, and my uncle, George Shave III, took over the family business and rebranded it as SFG Annuity Advisors.

In 2015, I entered the financial services industry and became the third generation of the Shave family to work in the annuity business. Growing up around the industry gave me a firsthand understanding of how valuable annuities can be, but it also showed me how difficult it can be for the average consumer to find clear, straightforward information.

AnnuityRadar.com began as an outlet for making annuity education and live rate data more accessible, transparent, and digestible for everyone. Our goal is to help consumers better understand their options, compare current rates, and make more informed decisions about their retirement savings.

Annuities are not new to us. For nearly 50 years, our family has been at the forefront of the fixed annuity industry. Along the way, we have helped thousands of financial professionals and consumers, consulted with insurance companies on product design, and even provided insight to regulators on annuity legislation.

AnnuityRadar.com carries that experience forward by combining decades of industry knowledge with modern tools, live data, and easy-to-understand education.
