One of the primary reasons to choose a fixed deferred annuity is the guaranteed interest throughout the term of the annuity.
Fixed deferred annuities have no exposure to market risk. This means money can grow every year, without the fear of market loss.
SecureOption Choice, a multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA) with market value adjustment (MVA) provides competitive rates, attractive liquidity features, a range of guarantee periods and is backed by the strength and ratings of Minnesota Life.1

An annuity is intended to be a long-term, tax-deferred retirement vehicle. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, and if withdrawn before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If the annuity will fund an IRA or other tax qualified plan, the tax deferral feature offers no additional value. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are generally excluded from gross income, but taxes and penalties may apply to nonqualified distributions. Please consult a tax advisor for specific information. There are charges and expenses associated with annuities, such as surrender charges (deferred sales charges) for early withdrawals.
SecureOption Choice contains a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). A Market Value adjusts the annuity's value to reflect the changes in interest rates since the contract was purchased. Depending on the direction interest rates have taken since the contract was opened, the MVA can have a positive or negative impact on the value of the annuity.
SecureOption Focus may pay an interest rote enhancement or bonus interest on certain purchase payments. Renewal rates may be reduced as a result of the interest rate enhancement such that the additional interest may or may not increase the total amount of interest your contract earns over the life of contract. Whether or not it does depend on multiple factors, including the length of time you hold the contract. We consider many factors when setting interest crediting rates for your contract including the cost of the interest rate enhancement or bonus interest, sales commissions paid to sales representatives, administrative costs, and current investment and market conditions.
