Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGA)

“Conversation-First” NOT “Product-First”

 Suitability Before Recommendations

 No Pressure. No Guesswork. Just Clarity.

Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs) offer a straightforward way to earn guaranteed interest for a set period of time while protecting your principal. For many individuals with cash sitting on the sidelines or CDs approaching maturity, MYGAs can provide predictable growth without market volatility.

Understanding Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities

A Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA) is a fixed annuity that provides a guaranteed interest rate for a defined period, often 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. Unlike investments tied to market performance, MYGAs provide contractual interest guarantees from highly rated insurance companies.

Many individuals consider MYGAs when they want:

• Guaranteed interest rates
• Protection of principal
• Predictable growth
• A conservative alternative to traditional CDs
• Tax-deferred accumulation

Because interest compounds inside the annuity, MYGAs can help provide stable growth without exposure to market losses.

Why Many Savers Consider MYGAs

Many people today are holding significant amounts of money in cash, savings accounts, or certificates of deposit. While those options offer safety, they may not always provide the growth needed to keep pace with inflation. MYGAs are designed for individuals who want predictability and stability, while still earning competitive guaranteed rates.

Common reasons people explore MYGAs include:

• CDs approaching maturity
• Cash earns very low interest
• Seeking guaranteed interest rates
• Looking for tax-deferred accumulation
• Wanting a conservative portion of their portfolio

For the right situation, MYGAs can provide a simple and transparent safe-money strategy.

MYGAs vs Traditional CDs

Many people discover MYGAs when comparing options after a CD matures. While both offer stability, MYGAs provide several structural differences.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

• Issued by banks
• Interest may be taxable annually
• Typically lower rates in many environments
• FDIC protection up to limits

Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities

• Issued by insurance companies
• Interest grows tax-deferred
• Competitive guaranteed rates for a fixed period
• Principal protection
• Often used as a CD rollover alternative

Because of the tax-deferred growth, MYGAs may allow interest to compound more efficiently over time.

How MYGAs Work

When you purchase a MYGA, you select a guarantee period such as:

• 3 years
• 5 years
• 7 years
• 10 years

The insurance company then guarantees a fixed interest rate for the entire period.

During the contract term:

• Your principal is protected
• Interest accumulates at the guaranteed rate
• Growth compounds tax-deferred
• Many contracts allow annual penalty-free withdrawals

At the end of the term, you typically have several options:

• Renew the contract
• Transfer to another annuity
• Begin income
• Withdraw funds

When a MYGA Might Make Sense

A MYGA may be appropriate for individuals who:

• Want guaranteed interest rates
• Prefer stability over market volatility
• Have CDs approaching maturity
• Want tax-deferred accumulation
• Are you building a conservative retirement strategy

MYGAs are often used as part of a broader safe-money allocation, alongside strategies like:

• Fixed Indexed Annuities
• Retirement income planning
• Life insurance accumulation strategies

The key is determining how the strategy fits your overall financial goals.
