Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Fixed Index Annuity and a MYGA?
A Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA) acts like a high-yield insurance CD, locking in a fixed guaranteed interest rate (e.g., 5.5% for 3 to 7 years). A Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) credits interest based on stock index performance with a 0% floor and offers optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) riders.
Can I lose money in a Fixed Index Annuity?
No. Fixed annuities are legal contracts guaranteeing 100% principal protection against market downturns. The insurance company absorbs all market losses. In down years, your interest credited is 0%, keeping your high-water mark intact.
Are annuity rollovers from a 401(k) taxable?
No, if executed as a direct rollover or trustee-to-trustee transfer, moving pre-tax funds from a 401(k) or traditional IRA into a qualified annuity is 100% tax-free and penalty-free.
