The Asset Preservation Hour

29- Are Bonds Still Safe? Rethinking Income in a Risky Market


Listen Later

In this episode of The Asset Preservation Hour, financial advisor Stewart Willis takes a deep dive into the evolving world of fixed income investing. With billions flowing into bond ETFs and fixed annuities, Stewart breaks down what these moves mean for retirement planning—and whether these tools are actually helping or hurting your long-term income goals.

You'll learn the real difference between bond funds and individual bonds, why relying on ETFs for income might not be as “safe” as it seems, and how rising and falling interest rates can drastically impact your portfolio. Stewart also explains the flawed assumptions behind the so-called “4% rule,” and why a custom income plan, based on your goals and your risk, is more important than ever.

Plus, discover the surprising truth behind how most people choose a financial advisor (spoiler: it's not ideal), and what to look for in a true fiduciary relationship.

If you're seeking clarity, confidence, and control over your retirement income strategy, this is a must-listen.
