Advanced Choice

From Security Benefit

Providing tax-deferred growth at a 4-year guaranteed interest rate, the Advanced Choice annuity may be a great choice for clients who want to avoid market volatility but want to continue growing their retirement savings.
 

The Market1

In 2020, fixed-rate deferred annuity sales, including MYGAs, totaled $51.7B, a 9% increase from 2019, and the highest fixed-rate deferred annuity sales since the Great Recession. Sustained market uncertainty in 2020 made MYGAs appealing to investors seeking safety from market volatility with greater returns than CDs.

Why DPL Likes Advanced Choice

Providing tax-deferred growth at a 4-year guaranteed interest rate, the Advanced Choice annuity may be a great choice for clients who want to avoid market volatility but want to continue growing their retirement savings. The 4-year version of Advanced Choice is exclusive to DPL Financial Partners, which can help clients address potential income gaps in the short-term. This product is now available with no surrender charge, too. 


How to Think About Commission-Free MYGAs

When your client needs:

PRINCIPAL PROTECTION: Fixed annuities are typically used for clients nearing or in retirement, as they protect principal from market downturns, yet provide a minimum guaranteed rate of return.

FIXED INCOME: Fixed annuities provide a consistent stream of income for clients that are looking to de-risk their portfolios from equities.

CASH REPLACEMENT: Fixed annuities can be used instead of cash investments, such as CDs or money market funds, to help generate better returns subject to the terms of the contract.2

Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

There are risks, fees and charges associated with fixed annuities.

The purchase of an annuity within a retirement plan that already provides tax deferral under sections of the Internal Revenue Code results in no additional tax benefits. An annuity should be used to fund a qualified plan based upon the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. All annuity features, risks, limitations, and costs should be considered prior to recommending the purchase of an annuity within a tax-qualified retirement plan. In addition to surrender charges, withdrawals are subject to income tax.

Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 may also be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.
