When adding an account that is an annuity is the insurance company or the financial company that is acting as the agent for the insurance company?

    Hi "@tigrpull1"

    An annuity is a contract between you and the insurance company, so the insurance company is the "financial institution" for Quicken purposes.

    Where do you logon to view your annuity account and any activity/transactions ?
    That would be the same place that Quicken would probably want the account setup.
    BUT - depending upon the institution - they may not have a connection with Quicken, and any data keeping would be purely manually copying entries from online or paper statements into Quicken.
    LASTLY - if you can't logon and see your account.... then it doesn't matter -

    Follow-up...

    In terms of tracking, there may be little to track and probably nothing to download - depending on the type of annuity and its contractual terms, so using brokerage account in Quicken is probably the best choice.
