Why I Don't Chase MYGA Rates
Description
Not all high interest rates are created equal—and chasing the top MYGA rate can lead you straight into trouble.

He shares a real-life story of a client walking away from a well-rounded product in favor of a higher rate, and breaks down the hidden risks behind some of the top-paying MYGAs on the market today—many of which are backed by private equity and have questionable long-term strategies.
