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.

Read our educational articles on fixed annuities to learn more.

market-value adjustment (MVA)

A market value adjustment is basically an additional charge or credit for taking money out early from an annuity.

They allow companies to pay a higher rate and make longer-term investments.

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

30 Days prior to the end of your contract term, you will have the option to choose from the following.

1. Withdrawal any amount free of charges and fees.
2. Apply the Accumulation Value at the end of the current Rate Guarantee Period to the subsequent Rate Guarantee Period.
3. If you do nothing, the contract renews for the same term at the rates available at that time. In no event will the interest rate be less than 1.00%, the contractual guaranteed minimum interest rate.

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.
taxesAnnuities typically grow tax-deferred. If you withdrawal money that has never been taxed, withdrawals are 100% taxable. Non-qualified withdrawals have been taxed already, so only interest is taxed. This is called an exclusion ratio. Interest would be taxed, but the principal would not. Please work with a qualified specialist.
