5-year guaranteed rate
1.82% guaranteed for 5 years
A multi-year guaranteed annuity from an A- rated carrier offered in five- and seven-year terms with an annual free-withdrawal allowance and a standard declining multi-year surrender schedule — broadly filed nationwide, but currently quoted at declared rates well below the top of the MYGA market.
Best fit
Safety-first buyers with a specific structural reason to choose this carrier or filing — for example existing carrier relationships or platform availability — who want a known, contractually guaranteed interest rate for five or seven years and are comfortable leaving the premium alone for the chosen guarantee period.

Product analyst notes
How to think about this contract
Why it can stand out
- Multiple guarantee-period lengths are filed (five and seven years), so buyers can match the rate-lock to the horizon they actually want.
- Surrender schedule is a standard declining ladder over a multi-year term rather than a flat penalty, so the cost of early access drops materially each year — the full year-by-year ladder is published on this page.
- Free-withdrawal allowance, shown in the keyFacts block on this page, is at the generous end of the MYGA market.
- Broadly filed across the country in the current live feed, so most U.S. buyers can purchase the contract on its standard terms — see stateCount in the keyFacts block.
What to confirm
- Current declared rates on this filing are well below the top of the MYGA market. Buyers shopping on rate alone will find materially higher five- and seven-year MYGAs from other A-rated carriers — compare side-by-side before committing, and use this product only if there is a specific structural reason it fits (not for headline rate).
- Surrender charges run for the full multi-year term and do not drop into the low single digits until late in the schedule. Early surrenders inside the first few years are materially penalized — treat this as a deferral product, not a near-term liquidity vehicle.
- Rates can vary by premium band — confirm the band that applies to your premium with the carrier before comparing the headline against other carriers' rate sheets.
- This is a fixed declared-rate contract: no upside participation in any market index, no built-in lifetime-income mechanism, and no income rider available. Buyers looking for either growth participation or guaranteed lifetime income should be comparing FIAs, not this product.
Not ideal for
Buyers shopping on rate alone (current declared rates here are well below the top of the MYGA market — compare against other A-rated MYGAs first), buyers who need ongoing access to principal beyond the annual free-withdrawal window, buyers who want exposure to a market index, buyers looking for guaranteed lifetime income, or buyers who want a ten-year rate guarantee.
