Anchor Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA) is a Single Premium Deferred Annuity with Market Value Adjustment (MVA). Growth is based off the interest rate of the annuity, and will increase steadily throughout the term of your contract. Since there is no market risk associated with a fixed annuity, your principal (the money you put in at the start of your contract) is guaranteed to grow at a fixed, steady rate, for a set period of time, making a fixed annuity a reliable place to put money you want to protect before retirement.
- Choose your premium amount (Minimum $10,000; up to $1,000,000 without prior approval).
- Select your guarantee period (5, 6, or 7 years) and lock in your fixed rate for that term.
- Watch your savings grow as interest is credited and compounds daily, guaranteed for the entire term.
