Why do people buy annuities?

People typically buy annuities to help manage their income in retirement. Annuities provide three things:

  • Periodic payments for a specific amount of time. This may be for the rest of your life, or the life of your spouse or another person.
  • Death benefits. If you die before you start receiving payments, the person you name as your beneficiary receives a specific payment.
  • Tax-deferred growth. You pay no taxes on the income and investment gains from your annuity until you withdraw the money.

What kinds of annuities are there?

There are three basic types of annuities, fixed, variable and indexed. Here is how they work:

  • Fixed annuity. The insurance company promises you a minimum rate of interest and a fixed amount of periodic payments. Fixed annuities are regulated by state insurance commissioners. Please check with your state insurance commission about the risks and benefits of fixed annuities and to confirm that your insurance broker is registered to sell insurance in your state.
  • Variable annuity. The insurance company allows you to direct your annuity payments to different investment options, usually mutual funds. Your payout will vary depending on how much you put in, the rate of return on your investments, and expenses. The SEC regulates variable annuities.
  • Indexed annuity. This annuity combines features of securities and insurance products. The insurance company credits you with a return that is based on a stock market index, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Indexed annuities are regulated by state insurance commissioners

FAQs

How often do annuity rates change?

Carriers can update rates weekly or monthly, and sometimes more frequently when interest markets move. Always check the “Updated” date and get a personalized quote for your state and premium amount.

Are MYGA rates guaranteed for the entire term?

Yes. With multi‑year guaranteed annuities, your rate is fixed for the full term you select.

What if I need access to my money?

Most MYGAs include a 10% free withdrawal after the first year. Withdrawals above that may be subject to surrender charges during the term.
