Thrivent Adds a new Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity to its Broad Portfolio of Financial Products and Solutions
June 2, 2023 by Thrivent
MINNEAPOLIS, May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Thrivent, a Fortune 500 diversified financial services organization, today announced the launch of its Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity™ (MYGA) product solution. This deferred fixed annuity gives Thrivent clients a flexible solution for today’s interest rate environment and offers multiple guaranteed fixed rate options along with the features and tax benefits of a traditional annuity.
Thrivent’s MYGA offers its clients a guaranteed interest rate over 3, 5, 7 or 9-year periods, allowing them to lock in today’s high interest rates over multiple consecutive years. Depending on their financial goals, clients can choose a market value adjustment feature – which offers a higher interest rate – or a return of premium option that allows them to surrender at any point, providing additional liquidity. The MYGA solution can be especially attractive for pre-retirees and retirees who want to safely and steadily grow their retirement income during a period when they’re approaching or already living on a fixed income.
Thrivent’s MYGA solution will enhance the financial services organization’s current annuity portfolio, which includes a variety of products and services to meet a range of client needs.
“As our clients continue to navigate market volatility and economic headwinds, we developed a flexible solution with guaranteed returns that they can customize based on their unique financial needs,” said Mike DeKoning, senior vice president of Insurance and Wealth Management Solutions, Thrivent. “We know that MYGA solutions are especially attractive as more clients consider fixed annuity solutions during this higher interest rate environment. Our MYGA solution is easy to understand, provides certainty to clients in an uncertain time and is backed by the financial strength and stability of Thrivent.”
A recent Retirement Readiness Survey from Thrivent found that only 40 percent of Americans have ‘very much’ or ‘somewhat’ been able to achieve the retirement goals they have set for themselves. Additionally, only 5 percent of near retirees say they are 100 percent ready for retirement. Offering a solution like MYGA with opportunities for guaranteed returns can help fill a critical gap for those who need a reliable and recurring stream of income in retirement. It could also be used to help clients diversify their portfolios, incorporate tax efficiency into their retirement strategies or leave a legacy for their loved ones.
“What sets Thrivent apart is our ability and expertise to provide our clients with purpose-based advice that’s actionable and achievable,” added DeKoning. “Even in a challenging financial environment, we’re ready to turn advice into action by providing solutions like Thrivent’s MYGA that help our clients achieve their long-term financial goals.”
