Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

0:09
America's annuity agent, licensed in all

0:11
50 states. Today's topic is the annuity

0:14
man's MIGA renewal playbook. Okay, Stan,

0:19
that sounds good. What's a MIGA? A MA is

0:21
a multi-year guarantee annuity. It's the

0:24
annuity industries version of a CD and

0:27
you can buy them [clears throat] one

0:29
year, two year, threeyear durations all

0:31
the way up to 10year that we offer. Um,

0:34
you can go to my site at

0:35
theanuityman.com and you can pull up

0:37
your state of residence, put in the

0:39
duration that you're interested

0:41
interested in. They'll say 5 years. Hit

0:44
go and you'll see every single carrier

0:47
ranked from the top yield all the way

0:49
down um for a fiveyear or three year

0:52
whatever. That's what a MA is. Don't

0:55
don't make it any more difficult than a

0:57
CD. It's the annuity industries version

0:59
of a CD. Protects your principal.

1:02
There's no fees. You get a guaranteed

1:05
yield. And with some carriers, they give

1:07
you the ability to peel off that

1:08
interest if you want. You don't have to.

1:10
You can put it in a nonIRRA account. You

1:13
can put them in an IRA structure. You

1:15
can put them in a Roth structure. Okay?

1:17
So, it fits with all of those. Now,

1:21
we're arguably the leader in that space,

1:25
okay? And we have quadrillions. My my

1:28
tech guy went quadrillion quadrillions.

1:30
Quadrillion. I mean, literally, I I'm

1:32
not going to give you the number that we

1:34
manage because my competitors won't

1:36
know, but it's a it's a lot. So, we do

1:39
this well. We understand the the carrier

1:43
rules on renewals and there is a

1:45
playbook that we have that we utilize

1:48
with and and the playbook is not let's

1:51
sell them more. No, we're not hammers

1:53
looking for nails. The playbook has to

1:54
do with giving you the options and the

1:58
choices at the end of that deferral time

2:00
period. So what it what it means is you

2:02
you typically have four primary choices

2:05
when your MGA matures. So, let's just

2:08
say you bought a five-year MIGA is

2:11
paying X percentage. I'm not going to

2:12
date myself on the percentage, but it's

2:14
paying X percentage. And we're coming up

2:17
on the five-year time period. Okay.

2:20
First of all, I have a team in place

2:22
that just does micro renewals with the

2:25
annuity man. That's that's we're pretty

2:27
big company. I can't believe that

2:28
sometimes because it was just me and my

2:30
wife for a long time, but it's this big

2:31
behemoth based in Las Vegas, Nevada. And

2:34
we have a team that just specialize

2:36
specializes in MIGA renewals for our

2:38
clients because we have bazillions under

2:40
management. Um, so what we do is we

2:43
we're going to contact you. We're going

2:44
to email you. We're going to call you.

2:45
We're going to send you a note. We're

2:46
going to FedEx you if you don't respond

2:48
to any of the former three. We're going

2:50
to find you to get your answer on what

2:52
you need to do. And here's here are the

2:54
choices. You can cash it in. You can

2:57
say, "You know what? That was a fun

2:58
ride. Stan locked it in for five. Got

3:01
this yield. It did exactly what you

3:02
said. send me the money. I'm going to go

3:04
buy a boat. Great. Your money. You can

3:06
do what you want. Second thing you can

3:08
do is you can transfer it to another

3:12
MGA. So, let's just say you said, "Stan,

3:14
you know what? That was a good ride. I

3:15
like that ride. That was a good ride. I

3:17
like the yield. I want to lock in for

3:19
another five years." Okay, great. We're

3:21
going to go look for the best 5-year

3:23
yield and we're going to transfer it

3:25
non-t taxable event. non-T taxable event

3:28
won't trigger any taxes to the newest

3:31
annuity whatever duration that you that

3:33
you choose. Okay, so that's the second

3:35
thing you can do. All right, the third

3:37
thing you can do is you could renew with

3:39
the carrier that you you were already

3:42
with. So, let's just say you're with XYZ

3:44
carrier. I'm just making up a carrier

3:46
name and you liked what they you like

3:49
the whole thing. you like the yield and

3:51
their renewal rate because the carriers

3:53
will offer you a rate to try to keep you

3:55
to stay with them. That renewal rate's

3:57
acceptable to you, then we'll just renew

4:00
it for you. Tell them tell the carrier

4:01
we're going to renew. You're going to

4:03
stay there. Okay? And then the fourth

4:05
thing you can do is okay, you bought the

4:07
MA, it was a 5-year MA, you wanted

4:09
principal protection, it gave you this

4:11
yield, and it's grown to this amount.

4:13
And the great part about MAS is when you

4:15
buy it, you know exactly what you're

4:16
going to end up with at the very end.

4:18
But let's just say your goals change.

4:20
You go, you know what, Stan the annuity

4:21
man, I don't really need principal

4:24
protection now. I need lifetime income.

4:27
So what we can do is then transfer non-t

4:30
taxable event transfer. What regardless

4:33
of what it's in IRA, Roth IRA, nonirra

4:37
to an immediate annuity or deferred

4:39
income annuity or QAC or whatever is

4:41
appropriate for you. So you can go from

4:43
MA to lifetime income. So, those are the

4:47
four things in the playbook. The good

4:49
news for you is I have a team in place

4:51
that just does that. They're they just

4:53
do that. They take care of you. You

4:56
don't have to keep up with anything. You

4:58
don't have to to, you know, put things

5:00
on your calendar. We are your calendar.

5:02
Okay? And the the reason that's

5:05
important, MA carriers, there's no

5:07
uniformity. Even though these are

5:08
commodity products, there's really no

5:10
uniformity in [snorts] the in the

5:12
annuity world. And the reason that

5:14
applies to MAS is every carrier has a

5:17
different window of which you need to

5:20
contact them and tell them which of

5:22
those four choices you want to do. We're

5:25
going to manage that for you. We're

5:27
going to keep up with that for you and

5:28
we're going to make sure you don't miss

5:29
those dates because what they want they

5:33
the annuity companies is for someone to

5:35
forget so that they can just renew it

5:37
and keep the money there. But that not

5:39
might not be the goal that you want. So

5:41
bottom line, the annuity mana renewal

5:44
playbook exists and it exists for you

5:48
and on your behalf. So you don't have to

5:50
keep up with it. We keep up with it for

5:52
you. We provide those four choices and

5:55
then you tell us what you want to do.

5:57
Why? Because it's your money. We're not

5:59
going to tell you what to do. We're

6:00
going to respond to you. So that's it.

6:03
So what do you do when your MA renews?

6:05
If you're out there and you don't have a

6:07
migga, if you have a MIGA somewhere else

6:09
and you want us to manage it, we can do

6:10
that. If you're with us and you're

6:12
watching this, you know what we do. If

6:14
you're considering a MIGA, this is why

6:16
you choose us. You can cash it in, you

6:19
can transfer it to another MIGA, you can

6:21
renew it, or you can transfer it to

6:23
another annuity structure. Those are

6:25
your four choices.

6:27
My name is Stan the Annuity Man. I am

6:29
the choice when it comes to annuities. I

6:32
hope you can um consider us if you're

6:34
