With this partnership, RetireOne is the first outsourced insurance desk with a non-tax deferred annuity product (FastBreak™) among their offerings to clients.

“Partnering with RetireOne aligns with our mission to empower advisors with products that offer both innovation and value,” said Gainbridge^® President Justin Wee. “The annuity products issued through Gainbridge Life can help provide advisors with the tools they need to help their clients achieve financial security and growth.”

FastBreak™ and SteadyPace™ feature fixed rates as high as 5.50% APY⁴, enabling advisors to enhance their clients’ portfolios with reliable, high-return options.

• FastBreak™: As the industry’s first non-tax deferred annuity product, FastBreak™ allows clients to withdraw funds prior to retirement without the early withdrawal tax penalty associated with traditional MYGAs. This product appeals to a broader range of consumers. FastBreak™ offers a yield 3.8 times higher than the average certificate of deposit (CD)⁵ while maintaining the fixed rates and principal protection that MYGAs are known for.⁶
• SteadyPace™: SteadyPace™ offers the benefits of a traditional MYGA, including tax deferral and principal protection, making it a secure addition to any retirement portfolio. With this product, RetireOne can offer their clients higher yields than previously available.

“Gainbridge Life offers multi-year guaranteed annuity products that are a game-changer for our advisor network,” said RetireOne President, Jeff Cusack. “With SteadyPace™ and FastBreak™, our clients can access some of the highest yields in the industry, coupled with the security and principal protection they expect.”
