Melia Advisory Group expands its retirement income services in Tulsa, Oklahoma, prioritizing income-first strategies as five-year MYGA rates reach 6.30%. The firm serves retirees seeking alternatives to traditional withdrawal rules through interest- and dividend-generating assets.
-- Tulsa-based Melia Advisory Group has expanded its retirement planning services as of May 2026, introducing strategies focused on generating reliable income streams for individuals nearing or in retirement. The expansion coincides with five-year Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA) rates holding near 6.30%, nearly double the levels available in 2021.

The service expansion comes as this environment provides an alternative for those seeking stable returns without direct market exposure, the team explains. As such, the firm's "income first" philosophy prioritizes renewable income generation from assets such as individual bonds and dividend-paying stocks over traditional growth-based withdrawal models.
Elevated annuity yields follow the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain its benchmark rate between 3.50% and 3.75% through the first quarter of 2026. While market expectations for rate adjustments have shifted, current industry data indicate that the top five-year MYGA rates reached 6.30% in March 2026. Melia Advisory Group positions these vehicles as tools to mitigate sequence-of-returns risk, which often erodes portfolios when market downturns coincide with early retirement withdrawals.
The Melia approach differs from conventional retirement strategies by constructing portfolios around income generation from interest and dividends rather than capital appreciation or fixed withdrawal percentages. According to firm analysis, an income-first strategy could potentially generate $60,000 to $70,000 annually on a $1 million portfolio, compared to $30,000 to $40,000 under traditional 3% to 4% withdrawal rules. This method is designed to reduce reliance on market timing and preserve principal indefinitely.
The service expansion also comes to address demographic shifts in Oklahoma, where the retirement-age population continues to grow. Local data suggests a rising demand for specialized income planning as individuals seek alternatives to traditional pension systems and Social Security alone. Melia's regional focus in Tulsa ensures personalized, in-person service compared to larger national brokerage firms.
