Single Premium Deferred Annuity

Guardian Eagle Annuity

A single premium deferred annuity is funded by a single payment and allows your money to grow over a period of time with compound interest. This means the interest builds on the amount that has already accrued, so the longer your money remains untouched, the more opportunity it will have to accumulate. These funds are tax-deferred, so you won’t pay any taxes on this money until it is withdrawn.

Product Details

Why choose a single premium deferred annuity?

This annuity ensures you will have money for later in life, and it provides great opportunities for accumulation of your contributed funds. In addition, Guardian Eagle offers beneficial liquidity options. ELCO Mutual offers 15% of the remaining principal once per contract year beginning in the second contract year—compared to only 10% allowed by most other companies—and interest is free at any time.

Our Guardian Eagle plan
  • Features hard-to-beat interest rates
  • Includes no hidden fees
  • Has no market value adjustments (MVAs)
  • Provides tremendous liquidity options
  • Is supported by a company with proven longevity
  • Offers a guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3% APY after the guaranteed term.
  • May be annuitized at any time, free of charge
    • If annuitized, the minimum annuitization period must equal or exceed the contract’s guaranteed term.

How can I contribute?

One contribution can be made at the time of purchase, with an allowance for additional contributions within the first 90 days of the issue date. Guardian Eagle can also be funded by qualified rollovers or from the transfer of other non-qualified funds. The minimum amount required to open a  Guardian Eagle contract varies based on the term. You can open a deferred annuity with a minimum of $10,000 for non-qualified funds and $5,000 for qualified funds.

When can I withdraw my money?

There are various Guardian Eagle plans available, and the best time to withdraw your money depends on your plan choice.
