\"What<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

A multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA) provides a predetermined and contractually guaranteed interest rate for a specified period of time. An MYGA is just one way to build an additional retirement savings account that supplements Social Security benefits or tax-advantaged investment accounts. Here's how these annuities work and the benefits they can offer.<\/p>\n

Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities, Explained<\/h2>\n

A Multiyear Guaranteed Annuity is a type of fixed annuity. As the name implies, fixed annuities offer a fixed interest rate. The main difference between MYGAs and traditional fixed annuities is the duration for which this interest rate is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

With a traditional fixed annuity, the guarantee may only apply for part of the contracted term. For example, you can take out an annuity contract for 10 years, but your interest rate is only guaranteed for the first five years.<\/p>\n

An MYGA, on the other hand, guarantees your interest rate for the entire term of the contract, usually between one and 10 years.<\/p>\n

MYGAs vs. CDs<\/h2>\n

Multi-year guaranteed annuities are often mentioned in the same breath as certificates of deposit because they are similar in nature.<\/p>\n

With a CD, you must hold your money for a specific period of time. Once the CD reaches maturity, you have the option to renew it (at the current interest rate) or withdraw your original deposit along with the interest earned.<\/p>\n

You can also renew an MYGA at the end of your contract. In this case, the interest rate may differ from the one you originally opted for. As with CDs, you will be offered the current interest rate at the time of renewal, which may be higher or lower than the one you previously received.<\/p>\n

If you choose not to renew your MYGA with a new contract, you can withdraw the principal and interest instead. Your annuity company may give you a penalty-free window to do so, during which you do not have to pay surrender charges or other costs. Within that period, you can also transfer the money into a new, higher-interest annuity as part of a 1035 exchange without incurring a tax penalty.<\/p>\n

That said, there are some key differences between MYGAs and CDs:<\/p>\n
