Choosing Wisely for Retirement: CDs vs. MYGA Insurance Products

When it comes to retirement planning, making the right savings and investment decisions can make all the difference. At Key Retirement Solutions, we often come across clients who are trying to make the tough choice between Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs). Both are sought after for their relative safety compared to the stock market’s volatility. However, MYGAs can offer more benefits than meets the eye.

Understanding CDs and MYGAs: The Basics

CDs, offered by banks, are time-bound savings accounts that offer a fixed interest rate. They are popular for their safety and predictability, but they usually offer a lower interest rate compared to other investment options.

On the other hand, MYGAs are insurance products that function much like CDs but often come with higher interest rates. Issued by insurance companies, they guarantee a fixed rate of interest over a specified period.

Market Volatility and Low-Interest CDs

The stock market’s volatile nature can cause sleepless nights, especially for those nearing retirement or seeking a peaceful retirement life. This volatility has driven many people to safer, more predictable investments like CDs. However, CDs aren’t always the best solution, particularly when you take into account their relatively low-interest rates.

MYGA Insurance Products: A High-Interest Alternative

MYGA insurance products are gaining popularity as a worthy alternative to CDs, particularly due to their high-interest rates. In some states, MYGAs offer interest rates as high as 5.5% or more. This is significantly higher than what most CDs offer, making MYGAs a compelling choice for those looking to grow their retirement savings.

Moreover, MYGAs, as annuities, can provide a steady stream of retirement income, adding another layer of financial security during your golden years.
