Retiree focused income "products" are becoming loaded with gimmicks. I'd argue that just about anything that pays more than market rate (about 1% to 3% nowadays) is something of a gimmick or at least carries a ton of risk. AGNC and most mREITs are in that group.

Among the worst gimmicks are high yield ETFs where shareholders are mostly getting their own money returned to them... and pay high management fees for the "privilege." Those include some Alpine and Cornerstone ETFs.

They pay double digit yields but the shares fall double digits every year. LOLOL!
