   S2 Ep 2 - MYGAs vs Bonds: A Practical Look at Guaranteed Yield in Retirement Portfolios

   In today's rate environment, guaranteed retirement income is doing more heavy lifting than ever. In this episode we explore how Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs) may fit alongside — or alongside a portion of — traditional bond allocations. We look at what makes MYGAs worth understanding in practice: product simplicity, liquidity considerations, and tax deferral, along with the client and advisor use cases where they come up. We close with discussion points for advisors: revisiting fixed-income exposure, framing guaranteed yield conversations with clients, and understanding trade-offs like issuer credit risk and surrender terms.
