MYGAs -Better Than a CD? Tax-Deferred Growth with Guaranteed Rates

  • A Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA) functions similarly to a CD, offering a fixed interest rate for a set term (typically 2 to 10 years). However, MYGAs grow tax-deferred, meaning clients don’t pay taxes on interest until withdrawal. Unlike CDs, which are bank-issued and taxable annually, MYGAs are backed by insurance companies and provide tax-efficient growth without market risk..
  • Current market leading MYGAs rates:
  • 5.10% on a 2-year MYGA
  • 5.65% on a 10-year MYGA

Don’t Overlook Term Conversion?Options

  • When shopping for term life insurance, many advisors and clients focus on price but overlook conversion options—often leaving clients without coverage when they need it most. Term conversion allows policyholders to switch to permanent insurance without new medical underwriting, but each carrier has different rules on conversion deadlines?and available products.
  • It’s crucial to know these details upfront so clients don’t miss their window to convert. We help you navigate these options, ensuring your clients can secure lifelong protection if their needs change. Don’t let a missed deadline or lack of nuanced decision making, leave your clients and their families exposed to unnecessary risk.
