Royal Neighbors Launches New Product Designed to Protect Retirement

Aug 16, 2021

Rock Island, Ill. (8/16/21) – Royal Neighbors of America, Rock Island, Illinois, announced the launch of a new annuity product designed to protect the futures of certificate owners.

The new Multi-Year Guaranteed Deferred Annuity (MYGA) product allows for one lump-sum premium. It will earn tax-deferred interest until maturity, which provides guaranteed growth. Royal Neighbors’ MYGA offers two guaranteed interest rate periods, each of the same length – 3, 5, or 10 years. After the second guaranteed interest rate period, the MYGA will not credit interest below the minimum guaranteed interest rate.

Juliet Christenson, Director Product Strategy and Development, led the product development project. “One of the things I love about my job is that we have the opportunity to design unique products with value-adds that give our Certificate Owners a sense of safety and security when it comes to planning their futures,” she said. “With guaranteed interest rates, owners will be accumulating retirement savings with the comfort in knowing their nest egg will always grow.”

“Our success hinges upon the success of our agents, so it is crucial that we enable our agents with products that are designed to meet the changing needs of their clients,” stated Curt Zeck, Chief Growth Officer at Royal Neighbors. “Through comprehensive research, and a carefully crafted product design plan, we are proud to have launched an easy-to-understand annuity product with a value-added rider that will fit the needs of the market,” he said.

For no additional premium, the MYGA product offers an exclusive Member Emergency Access Rider – giving the Owner access to funds when they need it most.
