Multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA)

Safety is something you focus on whether you’re putting on your seatbelt, or planning for the risks associated with retirement. A MYGA is one of the most common annuities for those seeking safety, and moderate growth, in their retirement plan.

A multi-year guaranteed annuity is a good fit for people who are:

  • Looking for a guaranteed interest rate that often pays more than a bank CD
  • Worried about market volatility or losing their money
  • Interested in having access to a part of their money for income

Simply put:

A MYGA is very similar to a bank CD that you’re familiar with, except that it may offer tax advantages that can help your money grow faster.

There are several flexible features of a MYGA, like how long you want your money to grow and the rate at which it will do so.

Key benefits of a MYGA

Guaranteed interest rate

You’ll know the rate that your money will grow for the entire length of the contract term you choose.

Safety

A MYGA is a guaranteed contract that isn’t affected by market risk or subject to investment loss.

Tax advantages

Your money grows “tax deferred” just like a 401(k) or IRA, which means more of your money can compound and grow before paying taxes.

Plan ahead

Know when you need access to money

A MYGA pays you a guaranteed rate for a specified period of time, but during that time you also have limitations on how much of your money you can pull out.

So if you need to have access to 100% of your money sooner, this longer term investment might not be right for you.

Additional features

Lifetime income

Income solutions can make sure that your money lasts as long as you do.

Choose your timeframe

Multiple contract lengths to match your time horizon.

Free withdrawals

You can access some of your money every year.

Leave a legacy

A MYGA can be used in several ways to pass on a legacy to loved ones.
