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.

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.

options at
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 cash surrender value. The cash surrender value includes a possible surrender charge and market value adjustment unless they wait until the contract term ends. If your elected beneficiary is your spouse he/she can take the accumulated value without surrender charges at time of death.
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 Only the interest earned will be taxable at ordinary income when withdrawn from the annuity.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.
