That is good stuff, but they need to get better resources. American Equity's SPIA is better than all of those named on payout and commissions (not that those matter), but b/c they used Cannex to run the quotes AEL was left off along with a few others.
Also, the IMO/AFMO they used for the FIA research doesn't even have contracts with Aviva or Allianz. I would think those 2 carriers would have something to say about the hypothetical rates of return.
But, the concept was good overall as they didn't bash FIAs.

That chart makes a great case for IAs when you throw in M&E & investment expenses into the returns of the VAs.
The only VA that returned any significant amount more after fees was PAC Life.
So basically it shows how IAs give you a much higher risk adjusted return, and are very close (or do many times) keep up with VAs.
