Fixed annuity comparisons
Review the rate and guarantee period alongside surrender provisions, withdrawal access, insurer strength, and state availability.
Request fixed annuity optionsFixed annuities / MYGAs
Compare multi-year guaranteed annuities around the client’s state, premium, time horizon, and liquidity needs. Evaluate the rate alongside the contract terms and insurer.
Compare on consistent terms
A MYGA credits an insurer-guaranteed rate for a stated period. The guarantee period, surrender schedule, and renewal provisions need separate review.
Use the same state, age, premium, and account type across comparisons. Check premium bands, issue limits, the effective date, and funding deadlines.
Compare surrender charges, free-withdrawal provisions, market value adjustments, and any contract-specific exceptions.
Review claims-paying ability, financial-strength information, death benefits, renewal rates, and state availability.
Consider compensation, replacement effects, tax treatment, and liquidity elsewhere in the client’s plan.

A focused comparison request
Share the client’s state, approximate premium, preferred guarantee period, and account type. Include the liquidity or replacement question the comparison needs to resolve.
Prepare a MYGA inquiryRates and availability can change. Use dated carrier information, confirm the funding requirements, and obtain the final insurer terms before implementation.
The displayed rate does not describe every cost, restriction, or tax consequence.
Guarantees are obligations of the insurer, not government guarantees. Early withdrawals can trigger surrender charges, a market value adjustment, and tax consequences. An annuity inside a tax-qualified retirement account does not add another layer of tax deferral. A renewal rate may differ from the initial guaranteed rate.
Product availability, underwriting, features, and compensation vary by insurer, contract, state, and professional capacity. Insurance guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability.
