Product analyst notes
How to think about this contract
Why it can stand out
- Published guaranteed rates at four distinct terms (3, 5, 7, and 10 years), so a buyer can match the lock-in window to a real planning horizon instead of being forced into a single carrier-preferred term.
- Backed by American National Insurance Company at an A.M. Best A rating, with concurrent Strong ratings from Fitch and Standard & Poor's — carrier financial-strength view is corroborated across three agencies rather than a single source.
- Annual free-withdrawal allowance runs alongside the surrender schedule, plus disability, nursing-home, and terminal-illness charge waivers — penalty-free liquidity rules are visible on this page, not gated behind a brochure.
- Surrender charge ladder is a declining 9-year schedule with no market-value adjustment, so the surrender cost on an early exit is a single visible number rather than a charge plus a rate-driven MVA.
What to confirm
- The carrier's posted headline rate per term is lower than the guaranteed period rate — a buyer reading marketing materials may see a different number than the rate this page surfaces. The page rate is the effective annual rate the contract credits over the guarantee period; confirm which figure the illustration is built on before signing.
- Surrender charges run a full 9 years with a meaningful first-year charge, so an unplanned early exit beyond the annual free-withdrawal allowance carries a real cost — this is a multi-year commitment, not a short-term cash equivalent.
- Posted rates on this page assume the mid-range premium band; deposits in lower or higher bands earn a different guaranteed rate, so the headline does not apply universally — verify the rate for the actual deposit size.
- The death benefit is the cash surrender value (with surrender charges and any MVA falling away at death only per contract terms), and there is no roll-up or step-up — this contract is built for rate certainty, not legacy enhancement.
Not ideal for
Buyers who need short-window liquidity, market-linked upside through index crediting, a guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider, or a death benefit with roll-up or step-up — a MYGA is a fixed-rate deferred contract, not any of those things.
