A fixed index annuity earns interest based on the performance of an external stock market index. If the selected index increases, then the annuity is credited interest using one of the indexed annuity crediting methods. If the stock market decreases the annuity earns zero interest for the year; an index annuity provides principal protection.
A MYGA provides a specified interest rate for a set number of years. Earnings grow tax-deferred, so you do not incur tax until you begin making withdrawals. You can review AMERICO annuity rates to other top annuity companies here.
