7 Questions to Consider Before Purchasing a MYGA
MYGAs have become an increasingly popular product for people looking for guaranteed returns and stability in their retirement portfolios. While the annual interest rate is the main differentiating factor, MYGAs can offer different features. Before applying for a fixed annuity it is important to know the answer to the following questions.
How Will The Value of My
Nassau Simple Annuity Grow?
You purchase this annuity with a single premium payment. The amount of your premium payment will grow through interest credited to your contract based on the guarantee periods you select. Interest is credited daily at an interest rate we set and guaranteed for the length of the guarantee period. We may refer to this as the guaranteed interest rate. The initial guarantee period will be either four or six years, depending on the length of time that you initially select. We can change this interest rate for each new guarantee period after that.
-
Guaranteed Interest Rate
During each guarantee period, we will credit the guaranteed interest rate corresponding to the duration of the period you select. The initial guaranteed interest rate is locked in for the guarantee period you choose on your application for the contract.
-
Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate (MGIR)
At all times during the life of the contract, we will credit at least the MGIR. For future guarantee periods, we will never offer a guaranteed interest rate less than the MGIR which is 1.00%.
This is a summary of certain product features and options, which may vary by state. Actual product details may vary in a particular state based on the terms of that state's approval.

How Can I Withdraw My Money?
Getting access to your account value
You can withdraw money from your annuity at any time. Life is full of surprises. Sometimes you may just want to take a getaway from the rest of the world. However, withdrawing money from your annuity may result in surrender charges, a negative or positive market value adjustment (MVA), and less interest credited to your contract. The money available from your annuity as a full surrender, as a death benefit, and upon annuitization will never be less than a guaranteed amount described in your contract. This guaranteed amount is referred to as the TGV. Any withdrawal taken from your contract will reduce the TGV dollar for dollar by the amount of net withdrawal. This amount may be less than the initial premium paid.
Withdrawals that will never incur
charges and adjustments
- An annual withdrawal of up to 5% of your contract value.
- A required minimum distribution requested after the first contract year. This will be treated as a free withdrawal and no surrender charge or market value adjustment will apply. However, if you are required to take an RMD in the first contract year and elect to take it from this contract after February 15th, the withdrawal will not be treated as a free withdrawal so a surrender charge and market value adjustment will apply.
- Withdrawals made during your 30-day window period. This occurs at the end of the 4 or 6 year guarantee period.
- Annuity payment options that you selected when you purchased the contract. Once you annuitize your contract, surrender charges and an MVA will not apply.
Withdrawals that will always incur
charges and adjustments
- Withdrawals in excess of any free withdrawal amount or RMDs outside of your window period.
- Withdrawals of your entire contract value, known as surrendering your contract.

Nursing Home & Terminal Illness Waivers
We also offer nursing home and terminal illness surrender charge waivers.

Waivers are only available after the first contract year. Subject to state approval and certain conditions.
Annuitization Options
You may choose to annuitize after the first contract year with no penalty. There are currently seven annuity payment options available from which to choose.
Available Spousal Continuation
If the spouse of a deceased owner is the beneficiary, the surviving spouse has the the option to elect to continue the contract as the new owner. In the case of a non-qualified contract, the surviving spouse must be the sole beneficiary.

Common Annuity Tax Implications
How is your annuity taxed?
The tax rules that apply to annuity contracts are complex. This disclosure document provides only a general description of certain tax aspects of the contract. This discussion is not intended to be comprehensive or address any particular owner’s tax situation.
This contract is an annuity, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. As long as your earnings remain in the annuity, they are not subject to federal or state income tax. All amounts paid-out or withdrawn, including death benefits, regardless of whether charges and adjustments are applied, are subject to federal and state income tax.
If you assign your contract or pledge it as collateral, it will be taxed as a withdrawal. The amount of this tax will depend on the nature of the payment as well as the amount of the payment that represents contract gain. In addition to tax, any withdrawals before the Owner is age 59½ may incur an additional 10% federal income tax penalty.
A premium tax may be deducted when you take a withdrawal, surrender your contract or annuitize your contract, where required by law.
Can you use this contract with an IRA?
Yes, this contract can be used with individual retirement annuities (IRAs), as well as non-IRAs (referred to as non-qualified contracts). However, contracts issued as part of a qualified plan or IRA, do not receive any additional tax benefits as compared with other qualified retirement plan or IRA investment vehicles.
However, an annuity contract issued as part of a qualified retirement plan or IRA does not receive any tax benefits in addition to those provided under such qualified retirement plan or IRA without an annuity contract.
A contract issued as a traditional IRA generally is subject to minimum distribution requirements that apply generally when the Owner reaches age 70½ and after the Owner dies. A contract issued as a Roth IRA is not subject to the minimum distribution requirements during the owner’s lifetime and is subject to these requirements after the Owner dies. The after-death distribution requirements applicable to qualified retirement plans and IRAs differ from those mentioned above for non-qualified annuity contracts.
IRAs are subject to special rules, including special rules governing the amount and treatment of contributions, the minimum distribution requirements, the federal income tax treatment of distributions, and the ability to rollover or transfer amounts tax-free to another IRA or a qualified retirement plan. If your contract is an IRA, you will receive a separate disclosure statement providing an explanation of the federal income tax rules applicable to the contract. Also, additional information about IRAs can be obtained from any IRS District Office or from various IRS Publications (in particular, Publication 590-A, Publication 590-B, and Publication 560).
What Are My Choices
When My Guarantee Period Ends?
At least 30 days prior to each contract anniversary, you will be notified of the available guarantee periods and their applicable rates. You will have a 30-day window period after your current guarantee period ends to select one of three options:
Stay Where You Are
If we are continuing to offer the length of guarantee period identical to the length of your contract’s expired guarantee period, you may renew the contract for another guarantee period of that duration at the currently available guaranteed interest rate. This is the default option if you do not choose a new guarantee period by the end of the window period. The new guaranteed interest Rate may not be the same rate of interest we applied to your contract value in the previous guarantee period, although the two guarantee periods are of the same duration.
Pick a New Guarantee Period
Choose a new guarantee period of a different length and associated guaranteed interest rate from those then available.
Take a Withdrawal
Surrender any amount of the contract value without incurring surrender charges or MVA.

What happens to your contract if you die?
The Internal Revenue Code has distribution at death requirements. These are described in your annuity contract and are based on the death of the owner unless the contract is owned by a trust. If the spouse of a deceased owner is the designated beneficiary, the surviving spouse can continue the contract as the new owner in lieu of receiving the death benefit.
Death before the Contract Maturity Date
A death benefit will be paid upon the death of a contract owner, or annuitant if the contract is owned by a trust, following the date the company receives a certified death certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The death benefit is equal to the greater of the contract value or the total guaranteed value (TGV) as of the date of death. No surrender charge or MVA will apply.
Death on or after the Contract Maturity Date
If the owner dies on or after the contract maturity date, any remaining annuity payments will be paid to the beneficiary under the payment option in effect on the date of death. Payments may not be deferred or otherwise extended. If there is a surviving owner, the payments continue as if there had been no death.
