Royal Neighbors of America’s MYGA 3-, 5-, and 10

-Year annuities are single premium deferred annuities designed to deliver tax-deferred growth and guaranteed interest over fixed durations. Each contract features two equal guaranteed interest rate periods—either 3, 5, or 10 years—providing both long-term stability and flexibility for retirement savers.

The Surrender Charge will apply to a full or partial surrender of the premiums paid. The charge does not apply to any distribution of interest earnings. The Surrender Charges are based on the length of the MYGA term. For the 3-Year MYGA, the charges are 9%, 8%, and 7% respectively in years 1 to 3. For the 5-Year MYGA, charges are 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, and 5% in years 1 to 5. For the 9-Year MYGA, charges begin at 9% and gradually decline each year to 0.5% in year 10, followed by 0% beyond year 10. However, California MYGAs are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment and include a penalty-free 30-day window before each renewal term where no surrender charges apply
