Generate income and minimize risk in today’s market.

In the past, investing for income was straightforward: For most people, adding more interest-bearing bonds to your portfolio did the trick.

But today it’s not so simple. Interest rates, though higher than a few years ago, are still not great. Many expect rates to decrease in 2026, but predictions vary widely. Other income-producing options aren’t much better: annuities are too expensive; high-yield bonds offer more attractive rates, but they are increasingly risky in an uncertain business environment. The list goes on.

That’s why we are offering our free guide¹ to help investors develop an income-producing strategy designed for today’s market. You’ll learn:

How dividend stocks can help reduce downside volatility
The importance of choosing the right corporate bonds and dividend stocks
The downsides of other income-producing options, such as, annuities and closed-end funds (CEFs)
Plus, more strategic ideas to help you generate income in retirement
