Read our full Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company review for a detailed look at the company's history, product lineup, and who it's best for.
Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company carries an AM Best rating of B, reflecting the company's financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing insurance obligations. AM Best ratings are the gold standard for evaluating insurance company stability.
When you purchase an annuity, your guarantees are backed by the issuing insurance company's claims-paying ability. That's why choosing a carrier with strong financial ratings is essential. An AM Best rating of "A" or higher indicates excellent financial strength.
MYGAs and bank CDs both offer guaranteed rates, but there are key differences that often make MYGAs the better choice for long-term savers:
| Feature | MYGA | Bank CD |
|---|---|---|
| Tax Treatment | Tax-deferred | Taxed annually |
| Typical Rates (5-yr) | 6.25% | ~4.0–4.5% |
| FDIC Insured | No (state guaranty fund) | Yes (up to $250K) |
| Annual Fees | None | None |
| Early Withdrawal | Surrender charges + possible penalty | Early withdrawal penalty |
| Minimum Investment | $2,500 | Varies ($500–$1,000+) |
The tax-deferred advantage is significant: with a CD, you pay income tax on interest every year, reducing your effective return. With a MYGA, your full interest compounds untaxed until withdrawal — potentially resulting in thousands more in growth over the term.
Rates shown are effective as of March 23, 2026 and are subject to change without notice. Annuity guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Annuities are not FDIC insured, not bank guaranteed, and may lose value.
