Product description

Fixed annuities are for conservative investors who want safety, security, and guarantees.

You will preserve your principal and earn a fixed rate of return.

You might hear fixed annuities also called CD-like annuities or multiple-year guarantee annuities (MYGA's).

If you are sensitive to loss and don't want to lose a penny, a fixed annuity might be a good fit for some of your savings.

MVAs only affect you if you withdraw funds early. If you own the contract to maturity, they do not apply.

maturity

At the end of the contract term, you’ll have a 30-day window during which you can withdraw 100% of the account balance. The insurance company will usually mail you a letter and offer a new rate to entice you to keep the funds with them. You can accept their offer and keep the funds with them. If you don’t like their rate, you can withdraw 100% of the funds, transfer the balance to another annuity/provider, or annuitize it and turn it into a guaranteed income stream. An IRA annuity can be transferred to any IRA custodian (bank, brokerage, annuity).

Warning: If you do nothing, your annuity will auto-renew for the same term with the rate effective at that time.

death benefit provisionIf you pass away before the end of your annuity contract, your beneficiaries will receive the accumulated policy value. This value will include all interest you have earned and be passed without any charges or fees.
taxesUnlike bank CDs, the interest you earn in an annuity grows tax-deferred. The taxation will vary depending on the type of account you own. Non-qualified annuities are funded with after-tax money from checking, savings, taxable brokerage accounts, etc.. Only the interest earned will be taxable at ordinary income when withdrawn from the annuity. Annuities funded by a Traditional or “pre-tax” IRA will be 100% taxable distributions. Both the principal and interest will be taxed as ordinary income. IRAs are already tax-deferred, so the annuity does not add an extra tax benefit. Annuities funded by a Roth IRA will not be taxed at withdrawal.
