CD Type Fixed Annuity Rates

A CD type fixed annuity is a retirement vehicle which has a guaranteed fixed rate or return for a fixed period of time (1-10 years). Fixed annuities although designed for retirement are very similar to typical Bank CD’s (hence the name CD Type annuity) these Fixed products offer a guaranteed fixed interest rate for various contract lengths. The fixed rate and contract length vary from company to company. If you are looking for a fixed investment for retirement income that provides a consistent rate of return throughout retirement, a fixed annuity may be the right investment. Contact our Fixed annuity and retirement income specialists for more details.

Bonus Annuity Rates

A bonus annuity is a type of fixed rate annuity, designed with retirement income in mind. The bonus annuity has a set contract length and typically a high guaranteed fixed interest rate for a portion of the contract (1-3 years). After the initial fixed rate expires the fixed interest rate resets annually to current market rates; never going below a set floor (typically 2-3%). Bonus fixed rate annuities are guaranteed and offer a fixed interest rate, however the average yield to maturity is not known at time of purchase because the rates fluctuate towards the end of the contract. If you are in retirement or entering retirement and want the flexibility to have your fixed interest rate increase if market rates increase but be guaranteed a minimum rate should they fall, then a Retirement Fixed Bonus Rate Annuity may be the ticket. Contact our fixed annuity and retirement income specialists for more details.
