Guardian Eagle
Finding a reliable annuity can be challenging, but the Guardian Eagle stands out due to its straightforward structure and growth potential. A single payment sets you up for long-term growth thanks to the power of compound interest. With tax deferral features, you won't have to worry about taxes eroding your gain over time. You also get to enjoy flexibility with a 90-day window to add additional funds.
Guardian Eagle keeps your future in mind with high rollover rates for 1, 2, and 3 years. There's also the helpful option to withdraw up to 15% of the principal each year or access accrued interest at any time you need. Offering more attractive interest rates than most CDs and the tax-deferral benefits, this annuity offers a reassuring blend of growth and security.

All of ELCO’s MYGAs are purchased with a single premium (a lump sum). Contract owners do have 90 days to make additional contributions to their annuity, but no additional funds can be added once that window passes. Guardian Eagle can also be funded by qualified rollovers or from the transfer of other non-qualified funds. The minimum amount required to open a Guardian Eagle contract varies based on the term. You can open a one-year contract with a minimum of $20,000. All other guaranteed terms have a minimum of $10,000 for non-qualified funds and $5,000 for qualified funds.

The one, two and three-year contracts offer a 30-day window to continue the contract at a designated rate, while assuming the five-year withdrawal schedule, at the end of the initial term.

The continuation rate (subsequent guarantee rate) for the one, two and three year term is designated at the time of sale.
