Multi-year guaranteed annuity sales in the fourth quarter were $35.5 billion, Wink Inc. reported last week. Sales were up 29.6% when compared to the previous quarter, and up 216.8% when compared to the same period, last year. MYGAs have a fixed rate guaranteed for more than one year. Total 2022 MYGA sales were $103.7 billion, an increase of 105.5% from the previous year.
