Fixed Annuities

Aspida’s fixed annuities are all single premium deferred fixed multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGA) with a two-to-seven-year guarantee period option. Your MYGA will grow tax-deferred and most offer flexibility to adjust for your current financial situation.

Aspida’s Fixed Annuities

  • Aspida Advisory MYGA
  • Synergy Choice MYGA
  • WealthLock MYGA

Aspida will allow you to make withdrawals from your fixed annuity to cover unexpected costs. After the first year, you can also access 100% of your contract value if you become confined to a nursing home and diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Fixed Index Annuities

Aspida offers two fixed index annuities – WealthLock Accumulator and Synergy Choice Max. They are single premium deferred fixed index annuities with seven-to-10-year contract options.

The WealthLock Accumulator offers protection to get a high rate of return that is tied to an indices’ performance, a fixed rate or both.

Equity Indices Available With the WealthLock Accumulator

  • S&P 500
  • Franklin Templeton
  • Janus Henderson Investors
  • Invesco

You can withdraw 10% of your cash value each year after your first year. Same as Aspida’s fixed annuities, you can also access 100% of your contract value if you become confined to a nursing home and diagnosed with a terminal illness.
