CD rates are finally improving, but there’s another option most people don’t hear about—MYGAs (Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities).
MYGAs work a lot like CDs: you get a fixed rate for a set number of years, there’s no market risk, and they are backed by insurance companies. The difference is that MYGAs usually offer higher rates and they grow tax-deferred, which allows your money to compound faster.
Current MYGA rates I’m seeing:
• 5.20% for a 3-year
• 5.50% for a 4-year
• 5.75% for a 5-year
Unlike CDs, where interest is taxed every year, MYGA interest isn’t taxed until you withdraw it. Over time, that can make a significant difference in growth.
This can be a good fit for retirees, anyone rolling over old CDs, people who want steady growth without market volatility, or anyone looking for a safe place to earn a better guaranteed rate.
If you want to compare your bank’s CD rates to current MYGA options, send me a message.
Rates can change at any time and vary by state and company.
