Product analyst notes
How to think about this contract
Why it can stand out
- A-plus rated carrier (A.M. Best) — Midland National is one of the larger, longer-tenured fixed-annuity writers in the U.S.
- Three guarantee-period choices on one product (three-, five-, and seven-year terms) — buyers can pick the term that matches their liquidity timeline rather than being forced into a single chassis length.
- Low premium floor relative to peers — the published rate band starts at the standard scenario premium with no high-balance gate, so this filing is accessible without a six-figure rollover.
- Flat surrender-charge ladder across the full surrender window rather than the more common front-loaded ladder — early-year liquidity costs less than at peers with heavier early-year penalties; the year-by-year schedule is shown on this page.
- Nursing-home and RMD surrender-charge waivers are in the schedule, so penalty access for those specific life events does not require selling the contract entirely.
What to confirm
- There is no annual free-withdrawal allowance on the published feed — confirm the contract's actual standing liquidity rules with the carrier before signing if penalty-free interest withdrawals matter to you.
- Market value adjustment applies on early surrender on top of the surrender-charge schedule — buyers who may need full liquidity inside the window face both penalties layered together.
- Surrender schedule runs the full seven-year window even on the shorter-term guarantee variants — confirm which surrender schedule applies to your chosen term before signing.
- Death benefit is the cash surrender value — no enhanced or step-up death benefit on this contract, so it is not built for legacy planning.
- Filed in 50 jurisdictions (every state and DC except New York) — New York residents are not on this filing.
Not ideal for
Anyone who needs an annual free-withdrawal allowance (none shown on the published feed — verify with the carrier), anyone who may need full liquidity inside the surrender window (MVA layers on top of the surrender charge), anyone seeking market-linked growth or lifetime income, and New York residents (not filed there).
