Annuity Products Offered by Sagicor
Sagicor currently issues three categories of annuity products: multi-year guaranteed annuities, single premium immediate annuities and single premium deferred annuities.
Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGA)
MYGA products grow with a guaranteed rate of interest over a chosen period of time. Consumers can choose from five guarantee periods — three, four, five, six or seven years — and earnings are tax-deferred.
The Milestone MYGA is Sagicor’s product line with multi-year fixed interest rates.
Single Premium Immediate Annuities (SPIA)
Immediate annuities begin paying out within 12 months of purchasing the annuity. After paying a single premium, you secure a guaranteed income stream while assuming no market risk with Sagicor’s SPIA product.
Single Premium Deferred Annuities
Deferred annuities are designed to accumulate earnings over time so that funds can be distributed in the future. These earnings grow tax-deferred, so you do not owe taxes on gains until you begin receiving payments.
Sagicor offers the Sage Choice Single Premium Deferred Annuity with a competitive fixed interest rate.
