AnnuityNJ is operated by Devin Shave — an independent annuity advisor based in Brielle, NJ who works for his clients, not for any insurance carrier.
Independent Annuity Advisor — Brielle, New Jersey
AnnuityNJ is powered by AnnuityRadar, Devin Shave's independent annuity education and advisory practice based in Brielle, New Jersey. Devin specializes exclusively in fixed annuity products — MYGAs, Fixed Indexed Annuities, and income annuities — and operates under SFG Annuity Advisors, a family-owned independent marketing organization that has served clients since the 1970s.
Unlike agents who represent a single carrier, Devin works with dozens of insurers and has no incentive to steer you toward any particular product. Every recommendation starts with your financial goals, your timeline, and the actual numbers — not a quota.
Devin built AnnuityNJ 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Devin is based in Brielle, NJ and serves clients throughout New Jersey and in multiple additional states. He understands the NJ-specific products, rules, and guarantee association coverage limits.
Most inquiries receive a response within one business day. Devin personally handles all client communication — no call centers, no runaround.
Devin operates as an independent agent under SFG Annuity Advisors, a family-owned independent marketing organization (IMO) that has served clients and agents since the 1970s. IMOs like SFG give independent agents access to carrier contracts, product training, and support — without putting them on any one company's payroll.
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.
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.
