How Do Growth Annuities Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Money is invested for a set period of time and interest is accrued annually. MYGA contracts typically range from 2 to 15 years and some allow for an annual distribution of interest earned. Fixed Index Annuity contracts typically range from 5 to 10 years.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
