What Stands Out This Week?

Knighthead continues to dominate the headline-rate conversation, with displayed rates of 6.10% for 3 years, 6.80% for 5 years, and 7.20% for 7 years. These Staysail rates use simple interest, so advisors should pay attention to the guaranteed yield when comparing them against annually compounded MYGAs.

For clients who place a higher priority on access to their money, several A– or better carriers remain competitive, including GBU Life, Knighthead Life, Oceanview, Axonic Insurance, Oxford Life, and Pacific Guardian Life.

Rates and product features are subject to change. Verify state availability, premium bands, withdrawal provisions, carrier ratings, surrender schedules, and current product details before quoting.
