What are the surrender charges?

Withdrawing more than the free amount during the guarantee period costs a percentage of the amount withdrawn. It steps down each year, and a market value adjustment (MVA) can also apply (our guide to how surrender periods work explains the lock-up and the MVA in full):

Who does it fit, and who should skip it?

What worksThe honest downsides
Savers who can leave money alone for 10 years Anyone who may need the funds before the term ends
People who want a CD-style guarantee at a higher rate People wanting market upside
Anyone tired of watching a balance swing Savers who need FDIC insurance specifically
Non-qualified money seeking tax deferral Those under 59.5 planning to withdraw soon
The honest read. This is a strong, simple product for the right saver. If you cannot lock the money for the full 10 years, a shorter term or a product with a larger free-withdrawal allowance is the better call. An advisor can compare both.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Farmers Safeguard Plus 10 rate guaranteed?
Yes. A MYGA locks the rate for the full 10-year term. The guarantee is backed by Farmers's claims-paying ability, which is why the B++ AM Best rating matters.
Can I withdraw money early?
This product allows 0% free withdrawal per year. Taking more during the surrender period triggers the schedule above, and withdrawals before 59.5 may add a 10% IRS penalty.
What is the minimum to open the Farmers Safeguard Plus 10?
The minimum premium is $10,000, and the maximum is $1,000,000. Most buyers fund a MYGA with a single payment from savings, a maturing CD, or a 1035 exchange from another annuity.
What happens when the 10-year term ends?
You get a 30-day window after the maturity date to walk away without charges: renew at the carrier's then-current rate, move the money to a new product via a 1035 exchange, or withdraw it. Doing nothing usually renews the contract, so calendar the maturity date.
Does this product have a market value adjustment?
Yes. On top of the surrender schedule, an MVA adjusts an early withdrawal up or down with interest-rate moves since purchase. It disappears at the end of the term, and it can work in your favor if rates have fallen.
Is there an age limit to buy it?
Yes, the maximum issue age is 90. There is no minimum age in practice, but withdrawals before 59.5 can trigger a 10% IRS penalty on gains, so MYGAs fit savers who can wait past that line.
How is the growth taxed?
Growth is tax-deferred: nothing is due while the money compounds, and gains are taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn. In a non-qualified account that deferral is the main tax edge over a bank CD, which is taxed every year. Our guide to how annuities are taxed walks the qualified and non-qualified paths.
Is the Farmers Safeguard Plus 10 FDIC insured?
No. Annuities are not bank products. The guarantee rests on Farmers's claims-paying ability, which its B++ AM Best rating measures. If FDIC coverage specifically is the requirement, a bank CD is the honest answer.
