Types of Annuities We Offer

Fixed Annuities (MYGAs) Guaranteed interest rate locked for 3–7 years. Principal never fluctuates. Rates currently near 15-year highs — up to 6.30% on competitive 5-year contracts. Works like a CD, but with better rates and tax-deferred growth.

Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) Returns linked to a market index (S&P 500) with a 0% floor — your money grows when the market is up, and stays flat when it’s down. Average returns of 5%–7%. Upside potential with downside protection.

Immediate Annuities (SPIAs) Convert a lump sum into guaranteed monthly income starting within 30 days. Predictable payments for life or a set period. The simplest annuity product — no moving parts, no market exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Annuities

What is the best annuity rate in Kentucky right now?

As of early 2026, the best five-year fixed annuity (MYGA) rates in Kentucky are paying approximately 6.30% guaranteed. Three-year terms run around 5.50%–5.85%. An independent agent can pull live quotes from 20+ carriers in a single comparison.

Are annuities safe?

Annuities from carriers rated A- or above by AM Best carry strong financial backing. Kentucky’s Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association covers up to $250,000 per contract if a carrier becomes insolvent — the same ceiling as FDIC insurance.

How are annuities taxed in Kentucky?

Gains grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, then are taxed as ordinary income. Kentucky offers a retirement income exclusion of up to $31,110 per person, which can reduce or eliminate state tax on annuity income.

Can I withdraw money from my annuity early?

Most contracts allow 10% annual penalty-free withdrawals after the first year. Full access is available after the surrender period (typically 3–7 years).

What is the difference between a fixed annuity and a fixed indexed annuity?

A fixed annuity locks in a guaranteed rate for the full term. A fixed indexed annuity ties returns to a market index with a 0% floor — you participate in gains up to a cap, but never lose principal.

How much money do I need to buy an annuity?

Competitive fixed annuities start at $10,000–$25,000. Fixed indexed annuities require $25,000–$50,000. Immediate annuities range from $10,000 to $50,000.

Should I buy an annuity or invest in the stock market?

It’s not either/or. Annuities protect near-term money (3–10 years). Market investments are better for 15+ year horizons. The right mix depends on your age, timeline, and goals.
