Founder, Annuity Radar

Independent Annuity Advisor and Market Expert Serving Clients Nationwide

Annuity Radar was created and founded by Devin Shave, an annuity market expert who specializes exclusively in fixed annuity products — MYGAs, Fixed Indexed Annuities, and income annuities. Devin's industry experience comes from years of family involvement in the insurance and financial services business, giving him carrier relationships and product knowledge most independent advisors spend a career building.

Devin is not captive to a single insurance company. Because carrier compensation and product features can vary, material differences in compensation, guarantees, liquidity, financial strength and contract terms are explained before a client decides. Every recommendation starts with your financial goals, your timeline, and the actual numbers.

Devin built Annuity Radar because he saw too many people confused, overwhelmed, or misled by the annuity industry. The goal is simple: give you the same information a professional advisor would have, explain it in plain English, and let you make the decision. And when you reach out, you get Devin — every time. Your information is never passed to a sales team or sold to the highest bidder.

  • Access to 80+ carriers across the fixed annuity market
  • No pressure, no jargon — education comes first, always

How Devin Works

The Approach

📚

Education First

Every client conversation starts with education, not a pitch. Devin will explain how the products work, what the numbers look like, and where the risks are — before any recommendation is made.

🔍

Full Transparency

Devin discloses how he is compensated, which carriers he works with, and what the AM Best ratings mean for your security. No surprises, no buried fine print.

🏦

Multi-Carrier Access

Because Devin is independent, he can shop the entire market and show you multiple options side by side. You get to see the full picture and choose what fits.

📋

No Obligation Consultations

You can ask questions, request illustrations, and walk through scenarios without any obligation to purchase. Devin believes the right client will want to work with you after an honest conversation.

🤝

You Get Devin — Every Time

When you reach out, your inquiry goes directly to Devin — not a call center, not a rotating sales team. Your information stays with him and is never distributed or sold to the highest bidder.

⚡

Fast Response

Most inquiries receive a response within one business day. Devin personally handles all client communication from first question to policy delivery.

Family Roots in the Industry

Independent Family Roots Since the 1970s

Devin's insurance industry background traces back to his family's firm, SFG Financial Services, which has served clients since the 1970s. That history gave Devin early, hands-on exposure to the business — along with the carrier relationships, product training, and institutional knowledge that now support his independent work at Annuity Radar.

This structure is important: it means Devin is not a Nationwide rep, or an Athene rep, or an Allianz rep. He is your rep — with access to all of them.

What "Independent" Actually Means for You

A captive agent at a bank or insurance company can only show you what that company sells. An independent agent like Devin can shop the entire market. If the best product for you this year is from Carrier A, you get Carrier A. If next year it is Carrier B, you get Carrier B. The recommendation follows the client — not the contract.

"Working with Devin was a great experience from start to finish. He was patient, responsive, and very clear about how everything worked. What I appreciated most was that he explained both the pros and cons instead of just trying to sell me something. That gave me a lot of confidence in the decisions I was making."
