CUNA Mutual has introduced an annuity contract that offers the purchasers a guaranteed rate of return.

The Madison, Wisconsin-based life insurer unveiled the MaxProtect Fixed Annuity contract Monday.

CUNA Mutual is offering a market-value-adjustment version and a book-value version.

The purchaser can also buy an optional return-of-principal guarantee, and can choose whether to receive payouts on a fixed installment or fixed-life basis.\

The minimum purchase amount is $10,000.

CUNA Mutual is issuing the contract through its CMFG Life Insurance Company unit. CMFG is responsible for the contract's guarantees.

The product is now available in 44 states.
