hi there Stan the annuity man America's

0:02
annuity agent licens in all 50 states so

0:04
glad you joined me today because this

0:06
topic actually

0:08
originated from a client that you know

0:11
when he first explained it to me I'm

0:13
like I did a Scooby-Doo I'm

0:15
like I'm like what but the more I listen

0:18
I'm like well okay that kind of makes

0:20
sense and ever since then there's been a

0:23
more than a handful of people that's

0:25
utilized the strategy after I told them

0:27
about it and there's been a couple

0:28
that's proactively talk to me about it

0:30
as well it's called the MGA ladder Cash

0:33
Out strategy we're going to talk about

0:36
that after

0:44
this okay so let's break down migga

0:47
ladder Cash Out strategy so migga is the

0:50
annuity industry version of ACD

0:53
multi-year guarantee annuity if you go

0:57
to my site at the annuity man.com we

0:58
have a live feed you can put your state

1:00
and duration and you can see what those

1:02
guarantees are okay for that specific

1:06
duration do not make it any more complex

1:08
than a CD it's the annuity Industries

1:10
version of a CD so that's that's a MAA

1:13
MGA ladder means that you're buying

1:15
different durations give you an example

1:18
let's just say you had $300,000 you say

1:20
I want a I want a migga ladder we might

1:22
do a three-year Miga 100,000 in a

1:24
three-year MGA 100,000 in a 5-year MGA

1:27
100,000 in a 7year MGA

1:30
that's that's the lading so you're

1:32
having money coming to it different

1:34
durations Etc the cash out part of it is

1:38
very interesting so you got Miga you got

1:40
ladder we all understand migas we all

1:43
understand ladders what's the cash out

1:45
the cash out is this there's a lot of

1:47
you out there that has specific needs at

1:50
specific periods of times that you need

1:52
lump sums everyone's Situation's

1:54
different annuities either fit they

1:56
don't fit but they are contractually

1:57
guaranteed so if you need the

1:59
contractual guarantee pce then we can do

2:01
these type of unicorn strategies to see

2:04
if it fits for you but this is what this

2:06
gentleman wanted to do he had specific

2:09
things in his life that he needed lump

2:11
sums for you know and and it was like a

2:14
three year a five year a seveny year and

2:15
a 10e duration so what we did is we

2:17
bought those four durations 357 and 10

2:22
and we split the money evenly and what

2:24
he did at the end was instead of either

2:28
you know taking the money and moving it

2:29
back to wherever it came from Ira non

2:31
Ira Roth IRA or rolling it to another

2:34
Miga you can do that in Ira non Ira Roth

2:37
IRA non taxable vent and all of them

2:40
what he said which was interesting is no

2:42
no no stand the annuity man and he

2:44
talked like that no he really didn't but

2:46
he should have I want to cash it out

2:49
send me the cash send have the annuity

2:51
company send me the proceeds so at the

2:53
end of year three he didn't touch the

2:55
interest you can you can get some that

2:57
you can take the interest out or 10%

2:59
annually but but what he said I want the

3:01
money to compound I want the interest to

3:03
compound but at the end I want to cash

3:06
it out check sent to me I've got a

3:07
specific place that needs to go and then

3:10
at the fiveyear time same thing grows

3:11
for five years cash it out sending the

3:13
money seven years grows for seven years

3:16
tax deferred compounding cash it out and

3:18
the same thing for the 10 MGA Cash Out

3:22
lading strategy pretty interesting and

3:25
you might have a situation where that

3:26
makes sense now let me give you some

3:28
background to that now at the time of

3:30
this taping check the date MGA rates are

3:33
very competitive they're at 20year plus

3:36
highs and when compared to CDs and we

3:38
love CDs we just don't sell them if your

3:41
duration is less than three years that

3:43
you need to lock in then go buy CDs okay

3:45
go buy them at the banks or the large

3:47
firms online Etc but if if your duration

3:49
that you want to lock in the guarantee

3:51
is more than three years three years

3:53
five years seven years 10 then

3:54
multi-year guarantee annuities migas are

3:58
typically going to provide the highest

4:00
contractual guaranteed yield actual

4:02
yield for those durations so if you have

4:05
a specific goal that's three years and

4:08
out like this gentleman did and a lot of

4:09
other people since then that have used

4:12
the MGA Cash Out strategy then this

4:14
might work for you because let's just

4:17
let's just look at a couple of scenarios

4:19
if you use Ira money you know you're not

4:22
getting double tax deferral it's tax

4:23
deferred anyway but in a lot of cases

4:26
people are using the MGA Cash Out

4:27
strategy for non-qualified non Ira money

4:31
why is that important that's a very good

4:33
question I'm glad you asked that with

4:35
CDs in a non IRA account you had to pay

4:39
taxes on the interest earn every single

4:41
year with mga's multi-year guarantee

4:44
annuities the interest grows tax

4:47
deferred it does not make them better

4:49
than CDs let's be very clear but in a

4:53
non-qualified account you're pushing the

4:55
tax Puck down the ice for all you hockey

4:56
people out there or kicking the tax can

4:59
down the road all you North Carolinians

5:01
down out there Carolinians where I'm

5:03
from you're deferring the taxes it's

5:05
growing and compounding tax deferred so

5:07
when you get to the end of the duration

5:09
and you need to cash it out then you can

5:12
and at that point in time you're paying

5:14
taxes if it's non qualify you're paying

5:16
taxes on the interest that you earn

5:18
here's the other good part about the MGA

5:19
Cash Out strategy let's just say you go

5:22
into a four year a four a four-prong

5:25
ladder 357 10 year doesn't have to be

5:27
that so don't hang hang on that give you

5:29
the example 357 and 10e MGA ladder and

5:33
you're going to cash it in at each of

5:34
those durations when you get to the end

5:36
of the duration my team's going to be in

5:39
touch with you 60 days prior to the to

5:41
the U the money coming due and say what

5:44
do you want to do the great part about

5:46
this is you're not locked into cashing

5:48
it out you might get to that threeyear

5:50
duration and say yeah let's cash this

5:51
one out send me the money as planned

5:54
then we might get to the five year two

5:55
years later we call you up and say hey

5:57
what do you want to do do you still want

5:58
to cash it out you you might have come

6:00
to a fork in the road moment you say no

6:02
I really don't want to cash it in let's

6:04
let let's roll it to another higher uh

6:07
yielding MAA if we can find that non-

6:09
taxable event transfer and just keep

6:11
going and building the ladder so in

6:13
other words you're not locked into the

6:15
strategy of cashing it out but you can

6:17
go into the strategy of cashing it out

6:19
knowing exactly what you're going to

6:21
have at the end of the duration so you

6:24
learn something new today which is my

6:25
job stand the anity man the edutainment

6:28

work for your specific situation because

6:39
there's no one size fits all and when

6:41
you go to my site at theanu man.com and

6:43
book a call you're going to most likely

6:45
get someone else you might get me doubt

6:47

7:23
contractual Guaranteed quotes because

7:31
contractual guarantees so that's the mea

7:33
Cash Out lading strategy pretty unique

7:36
pretty cool kudos to the people out

lot of smart people out there and once

7:44
they understand where I'm headed which

7:45
is contractual guarantees only I'm open

7:48
to ideas now typically I've thought of

7:50
most of them but in this case kudos to

7:52
my clients they came up was something

7:53
