CategoriesBusiness & Finance

MYGA stands for Multi-year guaranteed annuity, an insurance abbreviation.

Fixed annuity that pays a guaranteed interest rate for a set term, typically three to ten years, similar to a certificate of deposit but issued by an insurer with tax-deferred growth.

Example: I locked a five-year MYGA at a rate above what the banks offered.

Usage notes

Guarantees depend on the issuing insurer's strength and state guaranty associations, not FDIC insurance.
