How The MYGA Annuity Fits Into Your Portfolio

January 07, 20263 min read

What Is A MYGA Annuity? A MYGA (Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity) is a type of fixed annuity that locks in a specific interest rate for a set period (usually 3-10 years), offering predictable, tax-deferred growth similar to a Certificate of Deposit (CD) but with tax advantages, making it a safe option for conservative retirement savers seeking stability over market volatility.

Who Should Consider A MYGA Annuity?

  • You need your principal guarantee with no risk of market loss but want compound interest.

  • Within 5 years of retirement and don’t want to risk your investments in the market

  • You have a big future purchase ahead like a down payment on a house and will need the cash in 3 to 10 years but can’t risk losing the money.

  • You want safe predictable tax deferred growth

How it Works

  • Single Premium: You typically make a one-time payment (premium) to the insurance company.

  • Guaranteed Rate: The insurer guarantees a fixed interest rate for your chosen term (e.g., 3, 5, 7 years).

  • Tax-Deferred Growth: Your earnings aren't taxed until you withdraw them, allowing for faster compounding.

  • No Market Risk: Your principal and credited interest are protected from stock market fluctuations.

  • Liquidity: Most MYGAs allow for penalty-free withdrawals of a certain percentage (e.g., 10%) each year after the first year, and often have provisions for severe situations like nursing home care.

  • End of Term: At the end of the guarantee period, you can renew at a new rate, withdraw funds.
